4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 064996d62a33ffe10264b5af5dca92d54f60f806 ]
The SMP hardlockup watchdog cross-checks other CPUs for lockups, which
causes xmon headaches because it's assuming interrupts hard disabled
means no watchdog troubles. Try to improve that by calling
touch_nmi_watchdog() in obvious places where secondaries are spinning.
Also annotate these spin loops with spin_begin/end calls.
