[PATCH 0/2] arm64: fix lockdep in NMI context

[Mark Rutland]

For lockdep to function correctly in NMI context, architectures need to
correctly save/restore lockdep state at NMI entry/exit time, correctly
manage lockdep state within the NMI context, and need to select
TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT.

Currently arm64 falls short of this merely by failing to select
TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT, and this can result in spurious lockdep
splats with GICv3 Pseudo-NMIs are in use. Patch 2 has an example.

Patch 1 makes TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT a generically selectable
kconfig symbol (as it is currently defined under arch/x86). Patch 2
selects this on arm64 (providing the behaviour we'd intended when
reworking our entry code).

For anyone testing, beware that there are some other latent issues with
GICv3 Pseudo-NMIs. I'm currently working to fix those whcih I am aware
of, but as this is orthogonal I'd like to get it out the way on its own.

Thanks,
Mark.
