The quilt patch titled Subject: panic: fix the panic_print NMI backtrace setting has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was panic-fixes-the-panic_print-nmi-backtrace-setting.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------ From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" gpiccoli@igalia.com Subject: panic: fix the panic_print NMI backtrace setting Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 13:08:38 -0300

Commit 8d470a45d1a6 ("panic: add option to dump all CPUs backtraces in panic_print") introduced a setting for the "panic_print" kernel parameter to allow users to request a NMI backtrace on panic. Problem is that the panic_print handling happens after the secondary CPUs are already disabled, hence this option ended-up being kind of a no-op - kernel skips the NMI trace in idling CPUs, which is the case of offline CPUs.

Fix it by checking the NMI backtrace bit in the panic_print prior to the CPU disabling function.
