[ Upstream commit 064996d62a33ffe10264b5af5dca92d54f60f806 ] The SMP hardlockup watchdog cross-checks other CPUs for lockups, which causes xmon headaches because it's assuming interrupts hard disabled means no watchdog troubles. Try to improve that by calling touch_nmi_watchdog() in obvious places where secondaries are spinning. Also annotate these spin loops with spin_begin/end calls.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
