From 748f2edb52712aa3d926470a888608dc500d17e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Anzinger Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 15:56:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86 NMI: better support for debuggers This patch adds a notify to the die_nmi notify that the system is about to be taken down. If the notify is handled with a NOTIFY_STOP return, the system is given a new lease on life. We also change the nmi watchdog to carry on if die_nmi returns. This give debug code a chance to a) catch watchdog timeouts and b) possibly allow the system to continue, realizing that the time out may be due to debugger activities such as single stepping which is usually done with "other" cpus held.
