Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] powerpc/xmon: avoid tripping SMP hardlockup watchdog
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2017 13:29:40 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170929032942.4321-5-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170929032942.4321-1-npiggin@gmail.com>
The SMP hardlockup watchdog cross-checks other CPUs for lockups,
which causes xmon headaches because it's assuming interrupts
hard disabled means no watchdog troubles. Try to improve that by
calling touch_nmi_watchdog() in obvious places where secondaries
are spinning.
Also annotate these spin loops with spin_begin/end calls.
