Subject: [PATCH] arm64/irq: use NMI to send stop IPI
Date: Tue,  8 Dec 2020 21:14:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1607433270-9807-1-git-send-email-kernelfans@gmail.com> (raw)

Like other arches, both 'kexec -l' and 'kexec -p' expect to use NMI to
interrupt other cpus in order to capture cpus tightly to a known state.

So for both of the cases, try to use NMI IPI if irqchip supports NMI.
