Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 7/7] ring-buffer: Do not record in NMI if the arch does not support cmpxchg in NMI

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

[ Upstream commit 712292308af2265cd9b126aedfa987f10f452a33 ]

As the ring buffer recording requires cmpxchg() to work, if the
architecture does not support cmpxchg in NMI, then do not do any recording
within an NMI.
