This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc: handle kdump appropriately with crash_kexec_post_notifiers option to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-handle-kdump-appropriately-with-crash_kexec_.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1f9a17b653181bb614a1e5afee495c47e4fc3071 Author: Hari Bathini <hbathini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 7 16:07:18 2021 +0530 powerpc: handle kdump appropriately with crash_kexec_post_notifiers option [ Upstream commit 219572d2fc4135b5ce65c735d881787d48b10e71 ] Kdump can be triggered after panic_notifers since commit f06e5153f4ae2 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced crash_kexec_post_notifiers option. But using this option would mean smp_send_stop(), that marks all other CPUs as offline, gets called before kdump is triggered. As a result, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers. To fix this, kdump friendly crash_smp_send_stop() function was introduced with kernel commit 0ee59413c967 ("x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path"). Override this kdump friendly weak function to handle crash_kexec_post_notifiers option appropriately on powerpc.
