[merged mm-nonmm-stable] watchdog-force-console-verbose-when-reporting-lockups.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: watchdog: force console verbose when reporting lockups
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     watchdog-force-console-verbose-when-reporting-lockups.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: watchdog: force console verbose when reporting lockups
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 05:17:26 +0000

When a hard or soft lockup is detected, the watchdog prints a header at
KERN_EMERG (<0>), followed by diagnostic details (modules, registers, and
backtraces) at KERN_WARNING/KERN_DEFAULT (<4>) and KERN_INFO (<6>).  If
console_loglevel is quiet (<= 4), the console skips those <4>/<6>
diagnostic messages before vpanic() has a chance to call
console_verbose().  With the buddy detector, this leaves only the detector
CPU's panic stack on the console and nothing about the locked CPU:

  <0>[ 1535.991833][    C6] watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 7
  <0>[ 1535.995960][    C6] Kernel panic - not syncing: Hard LOCKUP
  <4>[ 1535.995970][    C6] CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/6 ...
  <4>[ 1535.995997][    C6] Call trace:
  ...
  <4>[ 1535.996063][    C6]  watchdog_hardlockup_check+0x1e0/0x288
  <4>[ 1535.996075][    C6]  watchdog_buddy_check_hardlockup+0xb4/0xc0

Similar to commit 168e06f7937d ("kernel/hung_task.c: force console verbose
before panic"), call console_verbose() before printing the lockup report
so the diagnostic output is not suppressed.
