Before calling panic notifier functions, smp_send_stop() gets called, which stops all CPUs except the panic'ing CPU. Commit 8389b37dffdc ("powerpc: stop_this_cpu: remove the cpu from the online map.") and again commit bab26238bbd4 ("powerpc: Offline CPU in stop_this_cpu()") started marking CPUs as offline while stopping them. So, if a kernel has either of the above commits, vmcore captured with fadump via panic path would not process register data for all CPUs except the panic'ing CPU. Sample output of crash-utility with such vmcore: # crash vmlinux vmcore ... KERNEL: vmlinux DUMPFILE: vmcore [PARTIAL DUMP] CPUS: 1 DATE: Wed Nov 10 09:56:34 EST 2021 UPTIME: 00:00:42 LOAD AVERAGE: 2.27, 0.69, 0.24 TASKS: 183 NODENAME: XXXXXXXXX RELEASE: 5.15.0+ VERSION: #974 SMP Wed Nov 10 04:18:19 CST 2021 MACHINE: ppc64le (2500 Mhz) MEMORY: 8 GB PANIC: "Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash" PID: 3394 COMMAND: "bash" TASK: c0000000150a5f80 [THREAD_INFO: c0000000150a5f80] CPU: 1 STATE: TASK_RUNNING (PANIC) crash> p -x __cpu_online_mask __cpu_online_mask = $1 = { bits = {0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0} } crash> crash> crash> p -x __cpu_active_mask __cpu_active_mask = $2 = { bits = {0xff, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0} } crash> While this has been the case since fadump was introduced, the issue was not identified for two probable reasons: - In general, the bulk of the vmcores analyzed were from crash due to exception. - The above did change since commit 8341f2f222d7 ("sysrq: Use panic() to force a crash") started using panic() instead of deferencing NULL pointer to force a kernel crash. But then commit de6e5d38417e ("powerpc: smp_send_stop do not offline stopped CPUs") stopped marking CPUs as offline till kernel commit bab26238bbd4 ("powerpc: Offline CPU in stop_this_cpu()") reverted that change. To ensure post processing register data of all other CPUs happens as intended, let panic() function take the crash friendly path (read crash_smp_send_stop()) with the help of crash_kexec_post_notifiers option. Also, as register data for all CPUs is captured by f/w, skip IPI callbacks here for fadump, to avoid any complications in finding the right backtraces.
