[PATCH] fix crash in entry.S restore_all
Fix the access-above-bottom-of-stack crash. 1. Allows to preserve the valueable optimization 2. Works for NMIs 3. Doesn't care whether or not there are more of the like instances where the stack is left empty. 4. Seems to work for me without the crashes:) (akpm: this is still under discussion, although I _think_ it's OK. You might want to hold off) Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev <stsp@aknet.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
