A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing. I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails out. On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is being done too early. I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.
