From e43d674f44dc885a2476cab3537e639d9eaa31a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 00:11:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] i386: don't blindly enable interrupts in die() Rather than blindly re-enabling interrupts in die(), save their state upon entry and then restore that state. If the kernel is in really bad condition and faults with interrupts disabled, re-enabling them in die() may cause even more trouble, implying more chances of data corruption.
