Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9. This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small improvements along the way. The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu. I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone with platform experience in follow-up patches. This patch (of 4): Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to support a cpumask as the underlying primitive. This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use the new "cpumask" method instead. The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to using the new cpumask approach in this change. The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach. The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.
