Linux has expected that interrupt handlers are executed with local interrupts disabled for a while now, so ensure that this is the case on Alpha even for non-device interrupts such as IPIs. Without this patch, secondary boot results in the following backtrace: ------------[ cut here ]------------ warning: at kernel/softirq.c:139 __local_bh_enable+0xb8/0xd0() modules linked in: fffffc0000867c70 fffffc0000876618 fffffc0000330628 0000000000000200 fffffc000088e1b0 fffffc0000868000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 fffffc0000331594 fffffc00008c79a0 fffffc000085fac0 0000000000000001 fffffc00003597e0 0000000000000008 fffffc000031b3b4 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 fffffc0000315c4c fffffc00008b88f8 fffffc0000856e20 fffffc0000856b00 fffffc0001a060c0 0000000000000007 trace: [<fffffc0000330628>] __local_bh_enable+0xb8/0xd0 [<fffffc0000331594>] irq_enter+0x74/0xa0 [<fffffc00003597e0>] scheduler_ipi+0x50/0x100 [<fffffc000031b3b4>] handle_ipi+0x84/0x260 [<fffffc0000315c4c>] do_entint+0x1ac/0x2e0 [<fffffc0000331620>] irq_exit+0x60/0xa0 [<fffffc00003159e8>] handle_irq+0x98/0x100 [<fffffc0000315d68>] do_entint+0x2c8/0x2e0 [<fffffc0000310d80>] ret_from_sys_call+0x0/0x10 [<fffffc0000365124>] load_balance+0x3e4/0x870 [<fffffc0000312bd4>] cpu_idle+0x24/0x80 [<fffffc0000391bd0>] rcu_eqs_enter_common.isra.38+0x0/0x120 [<fffffc0000312bf0>] cpu_idle+0x40/0x80 [<fffffc0000715030>] rest_init+0xc0/0xe0 [<fffffc000031001c>] _stext+0x1c/0x20 ---[ end trace 5bbac1dc3a0ec32e ]--- A similar dump occurs if you try to reboot using magic-sysrq.
