[PATCH 3.16 108/306] x86/panic: replace smp_send_stop() with kdump friendly version in panic path

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 18:30:04 EST


3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hidehiro Kawai <hidehiro.kawai.ez@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0ee59413c967c35a6dd2dbdab605b4cd42025ee5 upstream.

Daniel Walker reported problems which happens when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers kernel option is enabled
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44).

In that case, smp_send_stop() is called before entering kdump routines
which assume other CPUs are still online. As the result, for x86, kdump
routines fail to save other CPUs' registers and disable virtualization
extensions.

To fix this problem, call a new kdump friendly function,
crash_smp_send_stop(), instead of the smp_send_stop() when
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled. crash_smp_send_stop() is a weak
function, and it just call smp_send_stop(). Architecture codes should
override it so that kdump can work appropriately. This patch only
provides x86-specific version.

For Xen's PV kernel, just keep the current behavior.

NOTES:

- Right solution would be to place crash_smp_send_stop() before
__crash_kexec() invocation in all cases and remove smp_send_stop(), but
we can't do that until all architectures implement own
crash_smp_send_stop()

- crash_smp_send_stop()-like work is still needed by
machine_crash_shutdown() because crash_kexec() can be called without
entering panic()

Fixes: f06e5153f4ae (kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option)
