From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The irqentry_nmi_enter/exit would force the current context into in_interrupt. That would trigger the kernel to dead panic, but the kdb still needs "ebreak" to debug the kernel. Move irqentry_nmi_enter/exit to exception_enter/exit could correct handle_break of the kernel side. Before the fixup: $echo BUG > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT lkdtm: Performing direct entry BUG ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:78! handle_break, 256.
