[PATCH] oprofile, x86: Fix nmi-unsafe callgraph support

From: Robert Richter
Date: Fri Jun 03 2011 - 10:37:47 EST


Current oprofile's x86 callgraph support may trigger page faults
throwing the BUG_ON(in_nmi()) message below. This patch fixes this by
using the same nmi-safe copy-from-user code as in perf.
