[PATCH] kdump: x86_64 kexec on panic
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
)

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

- Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown for x86_64 which will be called by
  crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.).  Here we do things
  similar to i386.  Disable the interrupts, shootdown the cpus and shutdown
  LAPIC and IOAPIC.

Changes in this version:

- As the Eric's APIC initialization patches are reverted back, reintroducing
  LAPIC and IOAPIC shutdown.

- Added some comments on CPU hotplug, modified code as suggested by Andi
  kleen.
