| |
To fully isolate #DB and #BP from instrumentable code it's necessary to avoid invoking the hardware latency tracer on nmi_enter/exit().
Provide nmi_enter/exit() variants which are not invoking the hardware latency tracer. That allows to put calls explicitely into the call sites outside of the kprobe handling.
