Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Make nmi_shootdown_cpus() usable by non-kdump code

Hi, Ingo,

As tip/master is a moving target, I am splitting the previous kdump/reboot
virtualization-disable code series[1] into smaller series so the simpler
parts can be included sooner. This first series is just for making
nmi_shootdown_cpus() usable by non-kdump code, by moving their generic
parts to reboot.c.

They are exactly the same patches I've sent as 01-08 in the previous
series.

The NMI IPIs method used by nmi_shootdown_cpus() is the only way
we can make sure VMX is disabled on all CPUs before rebooting, on
emergency_restart(), because CPUs may have IRQs disabled. That's why I
will reuse nmi_shootdown_cpus() for the emergency_restart code when
VMX is enabled.

The virtualization-specific parts should come soon, after I implement
the suggestions by Eric and Avi, by making the virtualization-disabling
functions inline so they can be used directly by the core code (instead
of using the function pointer tricks from my previous series).

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] x86: Disable IRQs before doing anything on nmi_shootdown_cpus()

We need to know on which CPU we are running on, and we don't want to be
preempted while doing this.

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] x86 kdump: Make kdump_nmi_callback() a function ptr on crash_nmi_callback()

The reboot code will use a different function on crash_nmi_callback().
Adding a function pointer parameter to nmi_shootdown_cpus() for that.

applied them to tip/x86/crashdump, thanks Eduardo!

this branch btw. is an append-only non-rebasing tree that is not a
moving target, you can access it via:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README

and then do:

git checkout -b x86/crashdump tip/x86/crashdump

it has the following changes queued up currently:

Eduardo Habkost (8):
x86 kdump: extract kdump-specific code from crash_nmi_callback()
x86 kdump: move crashing_cpu assignment to nmi_shootdown_cpus()
x86 kdump: create kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
x86 kdump: make kdump_nmi_callback() a function ptr on crash_nmi_callback()
x86 kdump: make nmi_shootdown_cpus() non-static
x86: move nmi_shootdown_cpus() to reboot.c
x86: make nmi_shootdown_cpus() available on !SMP and !X86_LOCAL_APIC
x86: disable IRQs before doing anything on nmi_shootdown_cpus()

Huang Ying (3):
kexec/i386: remove PAGE_SIZE alignment from relocate_kernel
kexec/i386: allocate page table pages dynamically
kexec/i386: setup kexec page table in C

if you prefer less flux then you can send patches against that branch,
we'll sort out interaction with other trees.
