[PATCH printk v2 26/26] lockdep: Mark emergency section in lockdep splats

From: John Ogness
Date: Sun Feb 18 2024 - 14:01:17 EST


Mark an emergency section within print_usage_bug(), where
lockdep bugs are printed. In this section, the CPU will not
perform console output for the printk() calls. Instead, a
flushing of the console output is triggered when exiting
the emergency section.
