Subject: [PATCH 03/14] kernel/debug: Mask KGDB NMI upon entry
Date: Sun, 9 Sep 2012 21:12:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120910041257.GC29537@lizard> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120910040802.GA1261@lizard>

The new arch callback should manage NMIs that usually cause KGDB to
enter. That is, not all NMIs should be enabled/disabled, but only
those that issue kgdb_handle_exception().

We must mask it as serial-line interrupt can be used as an NMI, so
if the original KGDB-entry cause was say a breakpoint, then every
input to KDB console will cause KGDB to reenter, which we don't want.
