X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~1077^2~80
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f6b1e0477ccb2f25a9b045e38440347d2ce21c8;p=linux-2.6

[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]
