    powerpc/64s: sreset panic if there is no debugger or crash dump handlers · d40b6768
    Nicholas Piggin authored
    system_reset_exception does most of its own crash handling now,
    invoking the debugger or crash dumps if they are registered. If not,
    then it goes through to die() to print stack traces, and then is
    supposed to panic (according to comments).
    
    However after die() prints oopses, it does its own handling which
    doesn't allow system_reset_exception to panic (e.g., it may just
    kill the current process). This patch causes sreset exceptions to
    return from die after it prints messages but before acting.
    
    This also stops die from invoking the debugger on 0x100 crashes.
    system_reset_exception similarly calls the debugger. It had been
    thought this was harmless (because if the debugger was disabled,
    neither call would fire, and if it was enabled the first call
    would return). However in some cases like xmon 'X' command, the
    debugger returns 0, which currently causes it to be entered
    again (first in system_reset_exception, then in die), which is
    confusing.
