[PATCH 2/2] x86/panic: Use safe_halt() for CPU halt after panic
From: carlos . bilbao
Date: Wed Mar 26 2025 - 11:12:50 EST
From: Carlos Bilbao <carlos.bilbao@xxxxxxxxxx>
Include an arch/x86-specific function to halt CPU once the kernel has
finished handling a panic, by defining the weak function
cpu_halt_after_panic().
