[PATCH v4 2/2] watchdog/hardlockup: Avoid large stack frames in watchdog_hardlockup_check()

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Fri Aug 04 2023 - 10:01:32 EST


After commit 77c12fc95980 ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to
watchdog_hardlockup_check()") we started storing a `struct cpumask` on
the stack in watchdog_hardlockup_check(). On systems with
CONFIG_NR_CPUS set to 8192 this takes up 1K on the stack. That
triggers warnings with `CONFIG_FRAME_WARN` set to 1024.

We'll use the new trigger_allbutcpu_cpu_backtrace() to avoid needing
to use a CPU mask at all.

Fixes: 77c12fc95980 ("watchdog/hardlockup: add a "cpu" param to watchdog_hardlockup_check()")

Changes in v3:
- Rebase on change introducing trigger_allbutcpu_cpu_backtrace().

Changes in v2:
