I don't _think_ so, but I also don't _think_ it's needed for arm32. ;-) Let me explain my logic and you can tell me if it sounds right to you. If we're doing the backtrace in pseudo-NMI context then we definitely don't need it. Specifically, the printk_deferred_{enter,exit}() just manages the per-cpu "printk_context" value. That value doesn't matter if "in_nmi()" returns true. If we're _not_ doing the backtrace in pseudo-NMI context then I think we also don't need it. After all, if we're not in pseudo-NMI context then it's perfectly fine to print, right? While it's hard to know 100% for sure, my best guess is that in arm this might have helped prevent stack traces from getting interspersed among one another. I guess this is no longer needed as of commit 55d6af1d6688 ("lib/nmi_backtrace: explicitly serialize banner and regs")? In any case, when I tested this earlier things seemed to printout fine without it... That being said, it wouldn't hurt to include it here and I'll do it if you want. -Doug _______________________________________________ Kgdb-bugreport mailing list Kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kgdb-bugreport
