Yeah, it is better. Thanks.

To conform to x86_mapping_info::alloc_pgt_page type.
I will rename the argument to 'dummy' and add comment.

After transition to the identity mapping, not after jumping to reset
vector. I will adjust the comment.

Right.

Oops. I will add cleanup in acpi_mp_setup_reset() if
kernel_ident_mapping_init() or init_transition_pgtable() fails.

Hm. I do have lockdep enabled and there's no reported.
And I am not sure why it should complain. At this point we are running on
reboot cpu (after migrate_to_reboot_cpu()).
Could you elaborate on what the problem here?

Yeah, fair enough.
What about the implementation below? It is heavily inspired by
nmi_shootdown_cpus().
BTW, I don't understand why nmi_shootdown_cpus() needs 'crashing_cpu' if
it uses apic_send_IPI_allbutself(). 'crashing_cpu' == self, no?
static atomic_t waiting_for_crash_ipi;
static bool crash_ipi_issued;
static int crash_nmi_callback(unsigned int val, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
local_irq_disable();
crash_save_cpu(regs, raw_smp_processor_id());
cpu_emergency_stop_pt();
disable_local_APIC();
/*
* Prepare the CPU for reboot _after_ invoking the callback so that the
* callback can safely use virtualization instructions, e.g. VMCLEAR.
*/
cpu_emergency_disable_virtualization();
atomic_dec(&waiting_for_crash_ipi);
asm_acpi_mp_play_dead(acpi_mp_reset_vector_paddr,
acpi_mp_pgd);
return NMI_HANDLED;
}
static void acpi_mp_crash_stop_other_cpus(void)
{
unsigned long timeout;
/* The kernel is broken so disable interrupts */
local_irq_disable();
/*
* Avoid certain doom if a shootdown already occurred; re-registering
* the NMI handler will cause list corruption, modifying the callback
* will do who knows what, etc...
*/
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(crash_ipi_issued))
return;
atomic_set(&waiting_for_crash_ipi, num_online_cpus() - 1);
/* Would it be better to replace the trap vector here? */
if (register_nmi_handler(NMI_LOCAL, crash_nmi_callback,
NMI_FLAG_FIRST, "crash"))
return; /* Return what? */
apic_send_IPI_allbutself(NMI_VECTOR);
WRITE_ONCE(crash_ipi_issued, 1);
/* Don't wait longer than a second. */
timeout = USEC_PER_SEC;
while (atomic_read(&waiting_for_crash_ipi) && timeout--)
udelay(1);
