[PATCH] i386: Disallow kprobes on NMI handlers
A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack corruption. Note: This problem was originally spotted by Andi Kleen. This patch adds fixes not included in his original patch. [AK: Jan Beulich originally discovered these classes of bugs] Signed-off-by: Fernando Vazquez <fernando@intellilink.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
