Subject: Re: [PATCH v11 6/6] arm64: kgdb: Implement kgdb_roundup_cpus() to
 enable pseudo-NMI roundup

Quoting Douglas Anderson (2023-08-24 08:30:32)
> Up until now we've been using the generic (weak) implementation for

> one. The advantage here is that, when pseudo-NMI is enabled on a
> device, we'll be able to round up CPUs using pseudo-NMI. This allows
> us to debug CPUs that are stuck with interrupts disabled. If
> pseudo-NMIs are not enabled then we'll fallback to just using an IPI,
> which is still slightly better than the generic implementation since
> it avoids the potential situation described in the generic
> kgdb_call_nmi_hook().
