      [PATCH] check nmi watchdog is broken · 67701ae9
      Jack F Vogel 提交于
      A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
      check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.
      
      I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
      recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
      problem.  Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
      passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
      callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
      have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
      out.
      
      On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
      also bougs...  by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
      NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs.  Its just that the test is
      being done too early.
      
      I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
      too early.  I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
      via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.
