Sorry for late reply, interrupt is disabled when int3/int1 trap happens
and NMI is not permitted for kprobe in x86_64 platform,nest level of kprobe
is 2 at most. So that will work well if DEBUG_STACK is set to 8K when CONFIG_KPROBE
option is set.
Thanks

Hi,
In x86_64 platform, INT1 and INT3 trap stack is IST stack called DEBUG_STACK,
when INT1/INT3 trap happens, system will switch to DEBUG_STACK by hardware.
Current DEBUG_STACK size is 4K, when int1/int3 trap happens, kernel will
minus current DEBUG_STACK IST value by 4k. But if int3/int1 trap is nested,
it will destroy other vector's IST stack. This patch modifies this, it sets
DEBUG_STACK size as 8K and allows two level of nested int1/int3 trap.
Kprobe DEBUG_STACK may be nested, because kprobe hanlder may be probed
by other kprobes. This patch is against 2.6.17-rc3. Thanks jbeulich for pointing out error in the first patch.

So.... why not do it this way?
Last time we discussed this I was told it could nest upto 3 or 4 times
So that still wouldn't work.
If anything they should decrease the int3/debug stack to 2K, then 8K
might be enough.
Or even better would be to fix kprobes to not do that.
I think paranoidentry would need to be fixed for that too.
