In order to help identifying problems with IPI handling and remote function execution add some more data to IPI debugging code. There have been multiple reports of CPUs looping long times (many seconds) in smp_call_function_many() waiting for another CPU executing a function like tlb flushing. Most of these reports have been for cases where the kernel was running as a guest on top of KVM or Xen (there are rumours of that happening under VMWare, too, and even on bare metal). Finding the root cause hasn't been successful yet, even after more than 2 years of chasing this bug by different developers. Commit: |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
