Do we really need to introduce all these boolean return values just to
call a bit of library code when one of the architectures wants to
fallback to a generic implementation?

Why not something more like:

void kgdb_smp_call_nmi_hook(void)
{
/* original weak version of kgdb_roundup_cpus goes here */
}

void __weak kgdb_roundup_cpus(void)
{
kgdb_smp_call_nmi_hook();
}

arm64 can now simply call the new library function if a fallback is needed.

Note that same question applies to the backtrace changes...
