kexec: Fix race between panic() and crash_kexec()
Currently, panic() and crash_kexec() can be called at the same time.
For example (x86 case):
CPU 0:
oops_end()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // acquired
nmi_shootdown_cpus() // stop other CPUs
CPU 1:
panic()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
smp_send_stop() // stop other CPUs
infinite loop
If CPU 1 calls smp_send_stop() before nmi_shootdown_cpus(), kdump
fails.
In another case:
CPU 0:
oops_end()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // acquired
<NMI>
io_check_error()
panic()
crash_kexec()
mutex_trylock() // failed to acquire
infinite loop
Clearly, this is an undesirable result.
To fix this problem, this patch changes crash_kexec() to exclude others
by using the panic_cpu atomic.
