commit17ce302f31upstream. In the presence of any form of instrumentation, nmi_enter() should be done before calling any traceable code and any instrumentation code. Currently, nmi_enter() is done in handle_domain_nmi(), which is much too late as instrumentation code might get called before. Move the nmi_enter/exit() calls to the arch IRQ vector handler. On arm64, it is not possible to know if the IRQ vector handler was called because of an NMI before acknowledging the interrupt. However, It is possible to know whether normal interrupts could be taken in the interrupted context (i.e. if taking an NMI in that context could introduce a potential race condition). When interrupting a context with IRQs disabled, call nmi_enter() as soon as possible. In contexts with IRQs enabled, defer this to the interrupt controller, which is in a better position to know if an interrupt taken is an NMI.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
