[PATCH v7 6/7] kgdb: Expose default CPUs roundup fallback mechanism

From: Sumit Garg
Date: Mon Nov 02 2020 - 06:47:02 EST


Add a new API kgdb_smp_call_nmi_hook() to expose default CPUs roundup
mechanism to a particular archichecture as a runtime fallback if it
detects to not support NMI roundup.

Currently such an architecture example is arm64 supporting pseudo NMIs
feature which is only available on platforms which have support for GICv3
or later version.
