[PATCH] arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c PTRACE_SINGLESTEP oops 

We found a problem with x86_64 kernels with preemption enabled, where
having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time will
cause the system to 'oops'.  The problem seems that a task can get
preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the
DEBUG_STACK stack.  If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug()
and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's
stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the
preempted task is context switched back in again.

The typical oops looks like the following:

  Oops: 0000 [2] PREEMPT SMP

This patch disables preemptions for the task upon entry to do_debug(), before
interrupts are reenabled, and then disables preemption before exiting
do_debug(), after disabling interrupts.  I've noticed that the task can be
preempted either at the end of an interrupt, or on the call to
force_sig_info() on the spin_unlock_irqrestore() processing.  It might be
better to attempt to code a fix in entry.S around the code that calls
do_debug().
