- During CPU(s) hang scenarios, kdump could not stop these CPUs. However, the user could invoke soft-reset to shoot down CPUs reliably. But, when the debugger is enabled, these CPUs are returned to hang state after they exited from the debugger. This patch fixes this issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() before returns to previous state.
