commit b63e132b6433a41cf311e8bc382d33fd2b73b505 upstream.
The current MIPS implementation of arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is
broken because it attempts to use synchronous IPIs despite the fact that
it may be run with interrupts disabled.
This means that when arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is invoked, for
example by the RCU CPU stall watchdog, we may:
- Deadlock due to use of synchronous IPIs with interrupts disabled,
causing the CPU that's attempting to generate the backtrace output
to hang itself.
- Not succeed in generating the desired output from remote CPUs.
- Produce warnings about this from smp_call_function_many(), for
example:

[42760.945311] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1216 at kernel/smp.c:291 smp_call_function_single+0xee/0xf8
...
This patch switches MIPS' arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() to use async
IPIs & smp_call_function_single_async() in order to resolve this
problem. We ensure use of the pre-allocated call_single_data_t
structures is serialized by maintaining a cpumask indicating that
they're busy, and refusing to attempt to send an IPI when a CPU's bit is
set in this mask. This should only happen if a CPU hasn't responded to a
previous backtrace IPI - ie. if it's hung - and we print a warning to
the console in this case.
I've marked this for stable branches as far back as v4.9, to which it
applies cleanly. Strictly speaking the faulty MIPS implementation can be
traced further back to commit 856839b768 ("MIPS: Add
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function") in v3.19, but kernel
versions v3.19 through v4.8 will require further work to backport due to
the rework performed in commit 9a01c3ed5cdb ("nmi_backtrace: add more
trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods").
