Hi John.
Actually, I just follow the same function of sparc architecture.
You can find this in arch/sparc/include/asm/irq_64.h as below

void arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(bool);
#define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace

I guess this is used for conditional compile. 
See below.
include/linux/nmi.h
#ifdef arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace
static inline bool trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(true);

        return true;
}
static inline bool trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(false);
        return true;
}
#else
static inline bool trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        return false;
}
static inline bool trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        return false;
}
#endif

Thanks.

Currently, arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() is defined in only x86 and sparc which has nmi interrupt.
But in case of softlockup not a hardlockup, it could be possible to dump backtrace of all cpus. and this could be helpful for debugging.

for example, if system has 2 cpus.

	CPU 0				CPU 1
 acquire read_lock()

				try to do write_lock()

 ,,,
 missing read_unlock()

In this case, softlockup will occur becasuse CPU 0 does not call read_unlock().
And dump_stack() print only backtrace for "CPU 0". If CPU1's backtrace is printed it's very helpful.

This patch adds arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() for mips architecture.

Maybe someone make better patch than this. I just suggest the idea.
