* 'x86-debug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, reboot: Fix typo in nmi reboot path
  x86, NMI: Add to_cpumask() to silence compile warning
  x86, NMI: NMI selftest depends on the local apic
  x86: Add stack top margin for stack overflow checking
  x86, NMI: NMI-selftest should handle the UP case properly
  x86: Fix the 32-bit stackoverflow-debug build
  x86, NMI: Add knob to disable using NMI IPIs to stop cpus
  x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest
  x86, reboot: Use NMI instead of REBOOT_VECTOR to stop cpus
