For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled
triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(),
producing ugly backtraces and confusing users.
This is a common situation with machine checks for example which
tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit
in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it
means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which
would be bad.
This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function,
which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other
CPUs.
On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU
smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic
situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex
system state.
I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic
there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch
was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the
underlying complexity problems.
The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by
checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make
this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution
because panic has to be reliable.
So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot
code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus
in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on
too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be
called from interupts off region because it is very very simple.
There can be situations where it is important that panic
is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic
is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly
as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and
all function it calls simple.
This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme.
It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not
particularly precious anymore since all big systems are
using per CPU vectors.
Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar
to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't
work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs
would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts
off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for
using a non NMI vector for now.
I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of
the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down
instead into the next lower priority.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly.
The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on
a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did
it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject
to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe
to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag
and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return
or in the idle notifier.
This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement.
The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where
it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly.
When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical
section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger
an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI
triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised
once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call
wake_up().
When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up
eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable
compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.
Contains fixes from Ying Huang.

The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':
config X86_SMP
bool
depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)
This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.

Move the IRQ stub generation to assembly to simplify it and for
consistency with 32 bits. Doing it in a C file with asm() statements
doesn't help clarity, and it prevents some optimizations.
Shrink the IRQ stubs down to just over four bytes per (we fit seven
into a 32-byte chunk.) This shrinks the total icache consumption of
the IRQ stubs down to an even kilobyte, if all of them are in active
use.
The downside is that we end up with a double jump, which could have a
negative effect on some pipelines. The double jump is always inside
the same cacheline on any modern chips.
To get the most effect, cache-align the IRQ stubs.
This makes the 64-bit code match changes already done to the 32-bit
code, and should open up irqinit*.c for unification.

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
