In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

stackdepot: fix stack_depot_save_flags() in NMI context

Per documentation, stack_depot_save_flags() was meant to be usable from
NMI context if STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_CAN_ALLOC is unset.  However, it still
would try to take the pool_lock in an attempt to save a stack trace in the
current pool (if space is available).

This could result in deadlock if an NMI is handled while pool_lock is
already held.  To avoid deadlock, only try to take the lock in NMI context
and give up if unsuccessful.

The documentation is fixed to clearly convey this.
