[PATCH 58/91] oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi timer mode)

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sun Feb 05 2012 - 17:40:36 EST


2.6.27-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit 97f7f8189fe54e3cfe324ef9ad35064f3d2d3bff upstream.

If oprofile uses the nmi timer interrupt there is a crash while
unloading the module. The bug can be triggered with oprofile build as
module and kernel parameter nolapic set. This patch fixes this.

oprofile: using NMI timer interrupt.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
