x86/nmi: Accumulate NMI-progress evidence in exc_nmi()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CPUs ignoring NMIs is often a sign of those CPUs going bad, but there
are quite a few other reasons why a CPU might ignore NMIs.  Therefore,
accumulate evidence within exc_nmi() as to what might be preventing a
given CPU from responding to an NMI.

Enables debug prints when a CPU fails to respond to a given
backtrace NMI. These prints provide some reasons why a CPU
might legitimately be failing to respond, for example, if it
is offline of if ignore_nmis is set.
