Steven Rostedt (1): sched: do not account for NMIs
---- include/linux/hardirq.h | 32 ++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) --------------------------- commit 2a7b8df04c11a70105c1abe67d006455d3bdc944 Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Date: Thu Feb 12 14:16:46 2009 -0500
sched: do not account for NMIs Impact: avoid corruption in system time accounting Martin Schwidefsky told me that there was an issue with NMIs and system accounting. The problem is that the accounting code is not reentrant, and if an NMI goes off after an interrupt it can corrupt the accounting. For now, the best we can do is to treat NMIs like SMIs and they are not accounted for. This patch changes nmi_enter to not call __irq_enter and to do the preempt-count and tracing calls directly.
