commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to
panic on NMI") and commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to
save registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic()
which prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic(). It also
saves registers for the crash dump on x86.
However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic().
This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those
cases.
Changes since v2 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/2/173):
- Make nmi_panic receive a single string instead of printf style args
(PATCH 1/3)
Changes since v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/29/858):
- Replace nmi_panic() macro with a function version instead of
exporting symbols referred by the macro (PATCH 1/3)
- Improve the patch descriptions (PATCH 2/3 and 3/3)
- Do small cleanups (PATCH 3/3)
---
Even if applying this patch set, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g.
MCE handler) remains to use panic(). This is because I can't test
them well and actual problems won't happen. For example, the
possibility that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously
is very low.

commit 1717f2096b54 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to
panic on NMI") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent and
recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the
crash dump on x86 by later commit 58c5661f2144 ("panic, x86: Allow
CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context").
hpwdt driver can call panic() from NMI handler, so replace it with
nmi_panic(). Also, do some cleanups.
Changes since V1:
- Use direct return instead of goto
- Combine the panic message string into a single line

I guess you wanted to say
"
Change nmi_panic() from macro to a normal function so that it can be
exported to modules. At least ipmi and hpwdt watchdogs can be compiled
as a module and need to panic from the NMI context.

I wanted to say encapsulating things into a function makes modules
only have to know about the function. Modules don't need to know
all things in the macro. But I thought again, and `portability'
was not appropriate.
However, this patch set has been queued into -mm now. So I'll
leave this if not necessary.

Ahh, yes. I should have fixed this as well as the former case.
But this patch set has already been queued into -mm tree, so
I'll leave this patch if the fix is not important.
