[PATCH 1/4 v2] nmi: Provide the option to issue an NMI back trace to every cpu but current

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some times it is preferred not to use the
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() routine when one wants
to avoid capturing a back trace for current.
For instance if one was previously captured
recently.

This patch provides a new routine namely
trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() which offers
the flexibility to issue an NMI to every cpu but
current and capture a back trace accordingly.

[Added stub in #else clause - dcz]
