[PATCH 06/14] x86/entry, nmi: Disable #DB

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri May 29 2020 - 17:35:13 EST


Instead of playing stupid games with IST stacks, fully disallow #DB
during NMIs. There is absolutely no reason to allow them, and killing
this saves a heap of trouble.

We already disallow #DB on noinstr and CEA, so we can't get #DB before
this, and this ensures we can't get it after this either.
