From 36b08b819713e587fa43b94516302dd8732dd27a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 15:04:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/watchdog: use nmi registers snapshot in hardlockup handler commit 4d1f0fb096aedea7bb5489af93498a82e467c480 upstream. NMI handler doesn't call set_irq_regs(), it's set only by normal IRQ. Thus get_irq_regs() returns NULL or stale registers snapshot with IP/SP pointing to the code interrupted by IRQ which was interrupted by NMI. NULL isn't a problem: in this case watchdog calls dump_stack() and prints full stack trace including NMI. But if we're stuck in IRQ handler then NMI watchlog will print stack trace without IRQ part at all. This patch uses registers snapshot passed into NMI handler as arguments: these registers point exactly to the instruction interrupted by NMI.
