Steven and Ingo,
while running profiling tests on 32 bit I got a
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Suspected patches are the following:
$ git shortlog -p --full-diff v3.5..linux/master -- arch/x86/kernel/nmi*
Ingo Molnar (1):
Merge commit 'v3.5-rc3' into x86/debug
Li Zhong (1):
x86/nmi: Clean up register_nmi_handler() usage
Steven Rostedt (2):
x86: Remove cmpxchg from i386 NMI nesting code
x86: Save cr2 in NMI in case NMIs take a page fault (for i386)
Do you know already of something similar?
This happened to me the 2nd time now. Will try to reproduce it to get
a complete trace.

Seems not to be a regression, I could trigger it with v3.5 too.
The problem seems to be oprofile related, full trace below.
Thanks,
