wait_for_completion(&startup_done)
// waits for complete() from B,
// ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
We can't wake up 'B' in any way:
SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees
->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.
sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose
uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help.
sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info()
because B already has pending SIGKILL.
This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because
it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to
subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock.
That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED
after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other
thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal()
can only return SIGKILL.
I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL)
and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much
simpler.

[IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt storm
I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was
tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler.
There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC
interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs.
Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context,
the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC
interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed.
The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current
CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts,
execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest
of the CPUs.
