Hidehiro Kawai 58c5661f21 panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context
Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(),
sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them,
save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping.
However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to
save its register information into the crash dump.

For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all
CPUs as follows:

  CPU 0                             CPU 1
  ===========================       ==========================
  receive an unknown NMI
  unknown_nmi_error()
    panic()                         receive an unknown NMI
      spin_trylock(&panic_lock)     unknown_nmi_error()
      crash_kexec()                   panic()
                                        spin_trylock(&panic_lock)
                                        panic_smp_self_stop()
                                          infinite loop
        kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
          issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
                                          infinite loop...

Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is
blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET,
so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is
never called.

In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all
CPUs when the NMI button is pushed.

To save registers in this case, we need to:

  a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely
  or
  b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop

Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted
data from being propagated to devices.  So, we chose b).

This patch does the following:

1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI
   context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to
   enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is
   still used for normal context.

2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save
   registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which
   is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback
