Commit 0ee5941 : (x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly
version in panic path) introduced crash_smp_send_stop() which is a weak
function and can be overridden by architecture codes to fix the side effect
caused by commit f06e515 : (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_
notifiers" option).
ARM64 architecture uses the weak version function and the problem is that
the weak function simply calls smp_send_stop() which makes other CPUs
offline and takes away the chance to save crash information for nonpanic
CPUs in machine_crash_shutdown() when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel
option is enabled.
Calling smp_send_crash_stop() in machine_crash_shutdown() is useless
because all nonpanic CPUs are already offline by smp_send_stop() in this
case and smp_send_crash_stop() only works against online CPUs.
The result is that secondary CPUs registers are not saved by
crash_save_cpu() and the vmcore file misreports these CPUs as being
offline.
crash_smp_send_stop() is implemented to fix this problem by replacing the
existing smp_send_crash_stop() and adding a check for multiple calling to
the function. The function (strong symbol version) saves crash information
for nonpanic CPUs and machine_crash_shutdown() tries to save crash
information for nonpanic CPUs only when crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel
option is disabled.
* crash_kexec_post_notifiers : false
panic()
__crash_kexec()
machine_crash_shutdown()
crash_smp_send_stop() <= save crash dump for nonpanic cores
* crash_kexec_post_notifiers : true
panic()
crash_smp_send_stop() <= save crash dump for nonpanic cores
__crash_kexec()
machine_crash_shutdown()
crash_smp_send_stop() <= just return.
