[PATCH] arm64: kexec: flush log to console in nmi_panic()

From: Huang Shijie
Date: Thu Jun 17 2021 - 00:51:34 EST


If kdump is configured, nmi_panic() may run to machine_kexec().

But in NMI context, the log is put in PER-CPU nmi_print_seq.
So we can not see any log on the console since we entered the NMI context,
such as the "Bye!" in previous line.

This patch fixes this issue by two steps:
1) Uses printk_safe_flush_on_panic() to flush the log from
nmi_print_seq to global printk ring buffer,
2) Then uses console_flush_on_panic() to flush to console.

After this patch, we can see the "Bye!" log in the panic console.
