<title>x86, ioapic: Only print ioapic debug information for IRQs belonging to an ioapic chip</title>

with "apic=verbose" the print_IO_APIC() function tries to print
IRQ to pin mappings for every active irq. It assumes chip_data
is of type irq_cfg and may cause an oops if not.

As the print_IO_APIC() is called from a late_initcall other
chained irq chips may already be registered with custom
chip_data information, causing an oops. This is the case with
intel MID SoC devices with gpio demuxers registered as irq_chips.

Moorestown/Medfield platform does not have port 0x61 to report
NMI status, nor does it have external NMI sources. The only NMI
sources are from lapic, as results of perf counter overflow or
IPI, e.g. NMI watchdog or spin lock debug.

Reading port 0x61 on Moorestown will return 0xff which misled
NMI handlers to false critical errors such memory parity error.
The subsequent ioport access for NMI handling can also cause
undefined behavior on Moorestown.

This patch allows kernel process NMI due to watchdog or backrace
dump without unnecessary hangs.

These files were implicitly getting EXPORT_SYMBOL via device.h
which was including module.h, but that will be fixed up shortly.

By fixing these now, we can avoid seeing things like:

<title>x86, nmi: Add in logic to handle multiple events and unknown NMIs</title>

<content type='text'>
Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events
in one NMI.  As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event
triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI.  This causes the
next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI.

To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled
more than one event or not.  If it did, then there exists a chance that
the next NMI might be already processed.  Once the NMI is flagged as a
candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition.

This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs.  If it is the same
as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump
back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI.

If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI.

There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI,
but for now things seem better.

An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine.  Because x86
can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to
worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI.  The idea is
if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them.  For those
back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs.  Therefore only
execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.

<title>x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines</title>

Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion.  A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.

[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call

https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114

And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]

The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

<content type='text'>
The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure.  This worked
great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better.

One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for
each NMI.  The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered.
If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can
only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed).

In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers
for each NMI.  This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an
event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend
for themselves on the unknown NMI list).

As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that
was destined to be received for an already processed event.  Because the
event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes
an 'unknown' NMI.  This of course will cause printks that scare people.

However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such
are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them.  That will be
a later patch.

To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier
routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ.  The reason
for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings.  One we
could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of
NOTIFY_STOP.  Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being
handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one).
Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in
the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs.

The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up
yet (that is the next patch).  Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the
atomic notifier routines.  So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested
(as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in
case I copied the code wrong.

The nmi stuff is changing a lot and adding more functionality.  Split it
out from the traps.c file so it doesn't continue to pollute that file.

This makes it easier to find and expand all the future nmi related work.

No real functional changes here.

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.
