Just for info -- I've tested the patch on p4 machine with kgdb bootup tests
and results are somehow strange. If I disable nmi-watchdog the tests passes
fine and i'm able to run perf top (or anything related). Same time if I leave
nmi-watchdog enabled by default the borrowed event reported, kgdb tests passes
but nmi-watchdog never fires (ie I see nmi irq counter remains zero). So I've added
debug prints and found that counter reaches positive values and didn't issues
nmi at all. All in one -- i'm still investigating this issue unfortunatelly
the kernel build procedure sometime takes hours on this machine (even with
ccache enabled) so it goes a way slower then I expected :(
