2010-08-12x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumps - fix !CONFIG_KEXEC breakageCliff Wickman
This replaces Version 1 of this patch, which broke the build when CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP were configured off. In that case the storage for the 'in_crash_kexec' flag was never built. This version defines that flag as 0 if CONFIG_KEXEC is not set. The patch is tested with all combinations of those two options.

2010-07-21x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumpsCliff Wickman
UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written. When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and halt. But the NMI interrupt handler runs a callback list. This patch sets a flag to prevent any of those callbacks from interfering with the halt of the cpu. For UV, which currently has the only callback to which this is relevant, the uv_handle_nmi() callback should not do dumping of stacks. The 'in_crash_kexec' flag is defined as an extern in kdebug.h firstly because x2apic_uv_x.c includes it. Secondly because some future callback might need the flag to know that it should not enter the debugger. (Such a scenario was in fact present in the 2.6.32 kernel, SuSE distribution, where a call to kdb needed to be avoided.)

2008-10-22x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
