[patch 2/6] x86: mce: Disable preemption when calling raise_local()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Jun 06 2012 - 17:28:18 EST


raise_mce() has a code path which does not disable preemption when the
raise_local() is called. The per cpu variable access in raise_local()
depends on preemption being disabled to be functional. So that code
path was either never tested or never tested with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT
enabled.

Add the missing preempt_disable/enable() pair around the call.
