Subject: [PATCH 3/5] oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:27:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1318861624-715-4-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1318861624-715-1-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.com>

If oprofile uses the nmi timer interrupt there is a crash while
unloading the module. The bug can be triggered with oprofile build as
module and kernel parameter nolapic set. This patch fixes this.

oprofile: using NMI timer interrupt.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
