Don Zickus reports:
A customer generated an external NMI using their iLO to test kdump
worked. Unfortunately, the machine hung. Disabling the nmi_watchdog
made things work.
I speculated the external NMI fired, caused the machine to panic (as
expected) and the perf NMI from the watchdog came in and was latched.
My guess was this somehow caused the hang.
----
It appears that the latched NMI stays latched until the early page
table generation on 64 bits, which causes exceptions to happen which
end in IRET, which re-enable NMI. Therefore, ignore NMIs that come in
during early execution, until we have proper exception handling.

Building on commit 0ac09f9f8c ("x86, trace: Fix CR2 corruption when
tracing page faults") this patch addresses another few issues:
- Now that read_cr2() is lifted into trace_do_page_fault(), we should
pass the address to trace_page_fault_entries() to avoid it
re-reading a potentially changed cr2.
- Put both trace_do_page_fault() and trace_page_fault_entries() under
CONFIG_TRACING.
- Mark both fault entry functions {,trace_}do_page_fault() as notrace
to avoid getting __mcount or other function entry trace callbacks
before we've observed CR2.
- Mark __do_page_fault() as noinline to guarantee the function tracer
does get to see the fault.

Getting this thing to work with the new mapping scheme would need more
work, so automatically switch to the old memmap layout for SGI UV.

Fourth set of IIO fixes for the 3.14 kernel.
A single line patch fixing a regression that was introduced in 3.13 in the
reworking of the mxs touch screen and ADC drivers to be interrupt rather
than polling driven. It resulted in a stray double reporting of the release
coordinate in the touch screen driver. The bug lay in the adc side
of the driver which left the statemachine in the wrong state.
