ftrace/x86: Remove the complex ftrace NMI handling code
As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(), ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup and memory barriers to make it work. With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is no longer needed. Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced. (Note the arch sh may want to do the same) Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
