Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.
This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.
The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.
I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.
This patch (of 4):
Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.
This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.
The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.
The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

After commit 8c058b0b9c ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.
Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

As we now have generic infrastructure to support backtracing of other
CPUs in the system on lockups, we can start to implement this for ARM.
Initially, we add an IPI based implementation, as the GIC code needs
modification to support the generation of FIQ IPIs, and not all ARM
platforms have the ability to raise a FIQ in the non-secure world.
This provides us with a "best efforts" implementation in the absence
of FIQs.

Make mach/irqs.h optional for SPARSE_IRQ. With this change mach/irqs.h can
be removed by converting platforms over to sparse irq.
Platforms either need to set nr_irqs in their machine desc or all irqchips
used by a platform need to allocate their irq_descs. There cannot be a
mixture. Once this is done, the platforms can select SPARSE_IRQ. shmobile
does the latter, and mmp and pxa do the former.

When __irq_svc - or any of the other exception handling assembly code -
calls the C code, the stack pointer will be pointing at the pt_regs
structure.
All the entry points into C code from the exception handling code are
marked with __exception or __exception_irq_enter to indicate that they
are one of the functions which has pt_regs above them.
Normally, when you've entered asm_do_IRQ() you will have this stack
layout (higher address towards top):
pt_regs
asm_do_IRQ frame
If you insert a C function between the exception assembly code and
asm_do_IRQ, you end up with this stack layout instead:
pt_regs
your function frame
asm_do_IRQ frame
This means when we unwind, we'll get to asm_do_IRQ, and rather than
dumping out the pt_regs, we'll dump out your functions stack frame
instead, because that's what is above the asm_do_IRQ stack frame
rather than the expected pt_regs structure.
The fix is to introduce handle_IRQ() for no exception stack dump, so
it can be called with MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is selected and a C function
is between the assembly code and the actual IRQ handling code.
