PATCH 1/1 arch-specific callout in panic()

Hello, All:

There are some ppc64-specific actions that should be taken upon a kernel panic. Rather than adding a new #ifdef in panic(), it seems to me that it would be worthwhile to add a single callout, and move the arch-specific code out to the arch subtrees. Does this seem reasonable, or should another #ifdef be added in panic() to perform the ppc64- specific actions?

Please cc me on any replies.

Thanks,
Mike

There are some ppc64-specific actions that should be taken upon a

We have the panic_notifier_list in there. Cannot you hook into that?

Don't do it that way. Add a weak alias to empty function and override it on ppc64 by defining a function with the same name.

See how cond_syscall() is done - similar trick will work here. There's no need to mess with the architectures that do not use your hook.

panic_notifier_list is not used becasue we need to ensure that the actions in machine_panic are the last ones taken. machine_panic may not return (in the ppc64 case, it calls a firmware routine which does not return), so any other actions on the list need to be taken first.

Thanks,
Mike

panic_notifier_list is not used becasue we need to ensure that the actions in machine_panic are the last ones taken.

panic_notifier_list, like all entries defined via notifier_chain_register, is run in priority order, with LIFO order within priority. Register machine_panic first with priority INT_MIN and it gets called last.

Which reduces your problem to "which one of the 57 initcall levels do I use for registering machine_panic first on the panic_notifier_list"?
