From: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit a3ef2229c94ff70998724cb64b9cb4c77db9e950 upstream.

When using BTS on Core i7-4*, I get the below kernel warning.

$ perf record -c 1 -e branches:u ls
Message from syslogd@labpc1501 at Nov 11 15:49:25 ...
kernel:[ 438.317893] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 2.

Message from syslogd@labpc1501 at Nov 11 15:49:25 ...
kernel:[ 438.317920] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?

Message from syslogd@labpc1501 at Nov 11 15:49:25 ...
kernel:[ 438.317945] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

Make intel_pmu_handle_irq() take the full exit path when returning early.
