2009-04-21x86: avoid theoretical spurious NMI backtraces with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=yRusty Russell
In theory (though not shown in practice) alloc_cpumask_var() doesn't zero memory, so CPUs might print an "NMI backtrace for cpu %d" once on boot. (Bug introduced in fcef8576d8a64fc603e719c97d423f9f6d4e0e8b).

2009-04-21x86: fix boot crash in NMI watchdog with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y and flat APICRusty Russell
fcef8576d8a64fc603e719c97d423f9f6d4e0e8b converted backtrace_mask to a cpumask_var_t, and assumed check_nmi_watchdog was called before nmi_watchdog_tick was ever called. Steven's oops shows I was wrong. This is something of a bandaid: I'm not sure we *should* be calling nmi_watchdog_tick before check_nmi_watchdog. Note that gcc eliminates this test for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case.

2009-03-13cpumask: convert arch/x86/kernel/nmi.c's backtrace_mask to a cpumask_var_tRusty Russell
Impact: cleanup, reduce memory usage for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y I *think* every path calls check_nmi_watchdog before using the watchdog, so that's the right place for the initialization. If that's wrong, we'll get a nice NULL-deref with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y, and have uncovered another bug. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-02-17x86, apic: move APIC drivers to arch/x86/kernel/apic/*Ingo Molnar
arch/x86/kernel/ is getting a bit crowded, and the APIC drivers are scattered into various different files. Move them to arch/x86/kernel/apic/*, and also remove the 'gen' prefix from those which had it. Also move APIC related functionality: the IO-APIC driver, the NMI and the IPI code.
