Does Printk() block another CPU in dual cpu platforms?

[John Smith]

Hello,

I just have a question about the usage of printk in multi-processor 
platforms. If the program on two CPUs both try to call printk to output 
something, will the program running on one CPUs get blocked (or just 
spinning there) till the other is done with printk()?

Thanks,

Liang
