From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit cd2375a3567fd3d93aa6c68e0027a5756213bda0 upstream. Some architectures can not safely do atomic64 operations in NMI context. Since the ring buffer relies on atomic64 operations to do its time keeping, if an event is requested in NMI context, reject it for these architectures.
