I could not find cpus_in_crash anywhere in the sourcetree, except for
arch/powerpc/kernel/crash.c. Moving the definition into the CONFIG_SMP
fixes it.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Only save CPU state first time through the secondary CPU capture code</title>

We might enter the secondary CPU capture code twice, eg if we have to
unstick some CPUs with a system reset. In this case we don't want to
overwrite the state on CPUs that had made it into the capture code OK,
so use the cpus_state_saved cpumask for that and make it local to
crash_ipi_callback.

For controlling progress now use atomic_t cpus_in_crash to count how
many CPUs have made it into the kdump code, and time_to_dump to tell
everyone it's time to dump.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Delay before sending IPI on a system reset</title>

If we enter the kdump code via system reset, wait a bit before
sending the IPI to capture all secondary CPUs. Without it we race
with the hypervisor that is issuing the system reset to each CPU.
If the IPI gets there first the system reset oops output then shows
the register state of the IPI handler which is not what we want.

I took the opportunity to add defines for all the various delays
we have. There's no need for cpu_relax when we are doing an mdelay,
so remove them too.

<title>powerpc/kdump: Use setjmp/longjmp to handle kdump and system reset recursion</title>

We can handle recursion caused by system reset by reusing the crash
shutdown fault handler.

Since we don't have an OS triggerable NMI, if all CPUs don't make it
into kdump then we tell the user to issue a system reset. However if
we have a panic timeout set we cannot wait forever and must continue
the kdump.

We have a lot of complicated logic that handles possible recursion between
kdump and a system reset exception. We can solve this in a much simpler
way using the same setjmp/longjmp tricks xmon does.

As a first step, this patch removes the old system reset code.

<title>powerpc: add export.h to files making use of EXPORT_SYMBOL</title>

With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

The existing code it pretty ugly.  How about we clean it up even more
like this?

From: Anton Blanchard &lt;anton@samba.org&gt;

We check for timeout expiry in the outer loop, but we also need to
check it in the inner loop or we can lock up forever waiting for a
CPU to hit real mode.
