[PATCH 7/10] kdump: x86_64 kexec on panic

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Thu Nov 17 2005 - 08:26:40 EST




o 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:

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

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