Subject: [PATCH] arm64: smp: smp_send_stop() and crash_smp_send_stop() should try non-NMI first

When testing hard lockup handling on my sc7180-trogdor-lazor device
with pseudo-NMI enabled, with serial console enabled and with kgdb
disabled, I found that the stack crawls printed to the serial console
ended up as a jumbled mess. After rebooting, the pstore-based console
looked fine though. Also, enabling kgdb to trap the panic made the
console look fine and avoided the mess.

After a bit of tracking down, I came to the conclusion that this was
what was happening:
1. The panic path was stopping all other CPUs with
   panic_other_cpus_shutdown().
2. At least one of those other CPUs was in the middle of printing to
   the serial console and holding the console port's lock, which is
   grabbed with "irqsave". ...but since we were stopping with an NMI
   we didn't care about the "irqsave" and interrupted anyway.
3. Since we stopped the CPU while it was holding the lock it would
   never release it.
4. All future calls to output to the console would end up failing to
   get the lock in qcom_geni_serial_console_write(). This isn't
   _totally_ unexpected at panic time but it's a code path that's not
   well tested, hard to get right, and apparently doesn't work
   terribly well on the Qualcomm geni serial driver.

It would probably be a reasonable idea to try to make the Qualcomm
geni serial driver work better, but also it's nice not to get into
this situation in the first place.

Taking a page from what x86 appears to do in native_stop_other_cpus(),
let's do this:
1. First, we'll try to stop other CPUs with a normal IPI and wait a
   second. This gives them a chance to leave critical sections.
2. If CPUs fail to stop then we'll retry with an NMI, but give a much
   lower timeout since there's no good reason for a CPU not to react
   quickly to a NMI.

This works well and avoids the corrupted console and (presumably)
could help avoid other similar issues.

In order to do this, we need to do a little re-organization of our
IPIs since we don't have any more free IDs. We'll do what was
suggested in previous conversations and combine "stop" and "crash
stop". That frees up an IPI so now we can have a "stop" and "stop
NMI".

In order to do this we also need a slight change in the way we keep
track of which CPUs still need to be stopped. We need to know
specifically which CPUs haven't stopped yet when we fall back to NMI
but in the "crash stop" case the "cpu_online_mask" isn't updated as
CPUs go down. This is why that code path had an atomic of the number
of CPUs left. We'll solve this by making the cpumask into a
global. This has a potential memory implication--with NR_CPUs = 4096
this is 4096/8 = 512 bytes of globals. On the upside in that same case
we take 512 bytes off the stack which could potentially have made the
stop code less reliable. It can be noted that the NMI backtrace code
(lib/nmi_backtrace.c) uses the same approach and that use also
confirms that updating the mask is safe from NMI.

All of the above lets us combine the logic for "stop" and "crash stop"
code, which appeared to have a bunch of arbitrary implementation
differences. Possibly this could make up for some of the 512 wasted
bytes. ;-)

Aside from the above change where we try a normal IPI and then an NMI,
the combined function has a few subtle differences:
* In the normal smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop one or more CPUs
  then we won't include the current CPU (the one running
  smp_send_stop()) in the error message.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop some CPUs we'll print
  the CPUs that we failed to stop instead of printing all _but_ the
  current running CPU.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), we will now only print "SMP: stopping
  secondary CPUs" if (system_state <= SYSTEM_RUNNING).

I'm not setup to test the crash_smp_send_stop(). I made sure it
compiled and hacked the panic() method to call it, but I haven't
actually run kexec. Hopefully others can confirm that it's working for
them.
