From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 9d05041679904b12c12421cbcf9cb5f4860a8d7b upstream.

32-bit kernels handle nested NMIs in C.  Enable the exact same
handling on 64-bit kernels as well.  This isn't currently
necessary, but it will become necessary once the asm code starts
allowing limited nesting.

- * In x86_64 things are a bit more difficult. This has the same problem

- * difficult is that both NMIs and breakpoints have their own stack.
- * When a new NMI or breakpoint is executed, the stack is set to a fixed
- * point. If an NMI is nested, it will have its stack set at that same

+ * In x86_64, we need to handle breakpoint -> NMI -> breakpoint.  Without
+ * some care, the inner breakpoint will clobber the outer breakpoint's
+ * stack.
  *
- * If a breakpoint is being processed, and the debug stack is being used,
- * if an NMI comes in and also hits a breakpoint, the stack pointer
- * will be set to the same fixed address as the breakpoint that was
- * interrupted, causing that stack to be corrupted. To handle this case,
- * check if the stack that was interrupted is the debug stack, and if
- * so, change the IDT so that new breakpoints will use the current stack
- * and not switch to the fixed address. On return of the NMI, switch back
