Kdump can be triggered after panic_notifers since commitf06e5153f4("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced crash_kexec_post_notifiers option. But using this option would mean smp_send_stop(), that marks all other CPUs as offline, gets called before kdump is triggered. As a result, kdump routines fail to save other CPUs' registers. To fix this, kdump friendly crash_smp_send_stop() function was introduced with kernel commit0ee59413c9("x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path"). Override this kdump friendly weak function to handle crash_kexec_post_notifiers option appropriately on powerpc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
