[v2 PATCH 2/3] x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest

From: Don Zickus
Date: Thu Oct 13 2011 - 15:15:40 EST


The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ
as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some
concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI.

This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot.
The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we
learn the hard way.

Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a
couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like:

...
Brought up 4 CPUs
----------------
| NMI testsuite:
--------------------
remote IPI: ok |
local IPI: ok |
--------------------
Good, all 2 testcases passed! |
---------------------------------
Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS).
...
