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

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
