Hi John.
Actually, I just follow the same function of sparc architecture.
You can find this in arch/sparc/include/asm/irq_64.h as below

void arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(bool);
#define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace

I guess this is used for conditional compile. 
See below.
include/linux/nmi.h
#ifdef arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace
static inline bool trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(true);

        return true;
}
static inline bool trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(false);
        return true;
}
#else
static inline bool trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        return false;
}
static inline bool trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace(void)
{
        return false;
}
#endif

Thanks.

i don't see how this is required for conditional compiles. the code
define a->a which is bogus i think.

It's a pretty common pattern in the asm headers, in order to allow
generic code to use the preprocessor to see whether it was defined or
not.

Currently, in case of mips there is no case include_self is true, so this is not a problem. 
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace can only be called from trigger_allbutself_cpu_backtrace() in kernel/watchdog.c.
But as you said, if the case will be added, we should consider that.

Thanks.
