File crash-x86_64-nested-nmi.patch of Package crash.4081

From: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@suse.cz>
Subject: Fix NMI backtrace for kernels patched to handle nested NMIs
References: bnc#874179
Patch-mainline: not yet

Kernel commit 3f3c8b8c4b2a34776c3470142a7c8baafcda6eb0 changed the NMI stack
layout, adding 12 more values on the stack. The fix has two parts:

1. Determine if this kernel has the nested NMI layout and set a
     machine-specific flag (NESTED_NMI) if it does.

2. When backtracing an NMI stack, use the saved values instead of those
     found at the top of stack.

Additionally, kernel commit 28696f434fef0efa97534b59986ad33b9c4df7f8 changed
the stack layout again, swapping the location of the "saved" and "copied"
registers. This can be detected automatically, because the "copied" registers
contain either a copy of the "saved" registers, or point to repeat_nmi. So,
if restart_nmi is found as the return address, assume that this is the old
layout and adjust the stack pointer again.
