[merged] panic-add-option-to-dump-all-cpus-backtraces-in-panic_print.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     panic-add-option-to-dump-all-cpus-backtraces-in-panic_print.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" <gpiccoli@igalia.com>
Subject: panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print

Currently the "panic_print" parameter/sysctl allows some interesting debug
information to be printed during a panic event.  This is useful for
example in cases the user cannot kdump due to resource limits, or if the
user collects panic logs in a serial output (or pstore) and prefers a fast
reboot instead of a kdump.

Happens that currently there's no way to see all CPUs backtraces in a
panic using "panic_print" on architectures that support that.  We do have
"oops_all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl, but although partially overlapping in the
functionality, they are orthogonal in nature: "panic_print" is a panic
tuning (and we have panics without oopses, like direct calls to panic() or
maybe other paths that don't go through oops_enter() function), and the
original purpose of "oops_all_cpu_backtrace" is to provide more
information on oopses for cases in which the users desire to continue
running the kernel even after an oops, i.e., used in non-panic scenarios.

So, we hereby introduce an additional bit for "panic_print" to allow
dumping the CPUs backtraces during a panic event.
