[PATCH V2] output the cpu number when printking.

From: he, bo
Date: Mon Dec 24 2012 - 00:02:10 EST


From: "he, bo" <bo.he@xxxxxxxxx>

We often hit kernel panic issues on SMP machines because processes race
on multiple cpu. By adding a new parameter printk.cpu, kernel prints
cpu number at printk information line. Itâs useful to debug what cpus
are racing.
