Re: [PATCH 0/3 v2] nmi perf fixes

[Stephane Eranian]

Robert,

I have able to reproduce very easily on:

processor	: 0
vendor_id	: AuthenticAMD
cpu family	: 16
model		: 2
model name	: AMD Phenom(tm) 8450 Triple-Core Processor
stepping	: 3

using:

$ perf record -g ./hackbench 10
Time: 0.415
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.706 MB perf.data (~30841 samples) ]
$ dmesg | tail
[  418.946001] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3d on CPU 0.
[  418.946001] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
[  418.946001] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

This is with 2.6.36-rc4-tip as of this morning from tip-x86.
