>From the version 1 cover letter:
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, arm64, and arm. For x86 and arm64 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section. For arm I just build-tested it and made sure the
generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle section, but I didn't
attempt to tease apart the tangle of platform-specific idle routines
that arm has and tag them with __cpuidle. That might be more usefully
done by someone with arm platform experience in a follow-up patch.
I have also pushed it up to kernel.org to pull if that's easier:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile.git nmi-backtrace
v3: Various improvements to the set of __cpuidle functions;
Add back in a missing section accidentally removed in modpost.c (PeterZ)
v2: Switch to using __cpuidle tagging, switch S-O-B to Mellanox

Chris Metcalf (4):
nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods
nmi_backtrace: do a local dump_stack() instead of a self-NMI
arch/tile: adopt the new nmi_backtrace framework
nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
