Mainly to get more forceful with stuck cpus on IA64, where the "non-maskable" interrupt is masked by local_irq_disable(). We finally get decent backtraces on stuck IA64 cpus. It took a long time to get there, KDB could not change until the base kernel could cope with INIT and recover correctly. 2006-03-22 Keith Owens * Add some more xpc flags. Dean Nelson, SGI. * Replace open coded counter references with atomic_read(). * Pass early_uart_console to early_uart_setup(). Francois Wellenreiter, Bull. * Replace open code with for_each_online_cpu(). * If cpus do not come into kdb after a few seconds then let architectures send a more forceful interrupt. * Close a timing race with KDB_ENTER_SLAVE. * kdb v4.4-2.6.16-common-2. 2006-03-24 Keith Owens * Define a dummy kdba_wait_for_cpus(). * kdb v4.4-2.6.16-i386-2. 2006-03-24 Keith Owens * Use INIT to interrupt cpus that do not respond to a normal kdb IPI. * Remove KDBA_MCA_TRACE from arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c. * kdb v4.4-2.6.16-ia64-2.
