[PATCH] x86_64: add nmi_exit to die_nmi
Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't do what I expected. It always panic-ed, even when it didn't happen from interrupt context. This patch solves that problem for me. Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called with interrupts disabled, I believe. Would it be wise to also call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()? [Yes I added it -AK] Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt when do_exit() is called from die_nmi(). If we add nmi_exit() to the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally") it seems to solve this problem. The following small program can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this: main () { iopl(3); for (;;) asm("cli"); } Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
