Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 09/14] x86/boot: Ignore NMIs during very early boot

From: Jun'ichi Nomura <junichi.nomura@....com>

[ Upstream commit 78a509fba9c9b1fcb77f95b7c6be30da3d24823a ]

When there are two racing NMIs on x86, the first NMI invokes NMI handler and
the 2nd NMI is latched until IRET is executed.

If panic on NMI and panic kexec are enabled, the first NMI triggers
panic and starts booting the next kernel via kexec. Note that the 2nd
NMI is still latched. During the early boot of the next kernel, once
an IRET is executed as a result of a page fault, then the 2nd NMI is
unlatched and invokes the NMI handler.

However, NMI handler is not set up at the early stage of boot, which
results in a boot failure.

Avoid such problems by setting up a NOP handler for early NMIs.

[ mingo: Refined the changelog. ]
