Marco Elver 9bfeeeff2c stackdepot: fix stack_depot_save_flags() in NMI context 
commit 031e04bdc8 upstream.

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.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
