From 8d539b84f1e3478436f978ceaf55a0b6cab497b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Anderson Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 07:00:42 -0700 Subject: nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case. Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask. Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.
