Joe Korty 38e760a133 x86: expand /proc/interrupts to include missing vectors, v2
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:

	rescheduling interrupts
	TLB flush interrupts
	function call interrupts
	thermal event interrupts
	threshold interrupts
	spurious interrupts

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency.  Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip.  IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC.  Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.  For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS.  Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

Thomas Gleixner 6d43be8ea8 x86: remove reminder of i386 irqstat per cpu conversion
The i386 irqstat per cpu conversion left an bogus export of the old
irqstat array in the header file. Remove it.

Thomas Gleixner 3c9aea4742 x86: Fix irq0 / local apic timer accounting
The clock events merge introduced a change to the nmi watchdog code to
handle the not longer increasing local apic timer count in the
broadcast mode. This is fine for UP, but on SMP it pampers over a
stuck CPU which is not handling the broadcast interrupt due to the
unconditional sum up of local apic timer count and irq0 count.

To cover all cases we need to keep track on which CPU irq0 is
handled. In theory this is CPU#0 due to the explicit disabling of irq
balancing for irq0, but there are systems which ignore this on the
hardware level. The per cpu irq0 accounting allows us to remove the
irq0 to CPU0 binding as well.

Add a per cpu counter for irq0 and evaluate this instead of the global
irq0 count in the nmi watchdog code.
