From b7c4948e9881fb38b048269f376fb4bf194ce24a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hidehiro Kawai Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:19:12 +0100 Subject: x86/apic: Introduce apic_extnmi command line parameter This patch introduces a command line parameter apic_extnmi: apic_extnmi=( bsp|all|none ) The default value is "bsp" and this is the current behavior: only the Boot-Strapping Processor receives an external NMI. "all" allows external NMIs to be broadcast to all CPUs. This would raise the success rate of panic on NMI when BSP hangs in NMI context or the external NMI is swallowed by other NMI handlers on the BSP. If you specify "none", no CPUs receive external NMIs. This is useful for the dump capture kernel so that it cannot be shot down by accidentally pressing the external NMI button (on platforms which have it) while saving a crash dump.
