      arch/x86/oprofile/op_model_amd.c: Perform initialisation on a single CPU · c7c25802
      Robert Richter authored
      Disable preemption in init_ibs(). The function only checks the
      ibs capabilities and sets up pci devices (if necessary). It runs
      only on one cpu but operates with the local APIC and some MSRs,
      thus it is better to disable preemption.

      watchdog: Improve initialisation error message and documentation · 55142374
      Ben Hutchings authored
      The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...'
      does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the
      watchdog.  It also currently prints the error value as a
      pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR().
      Fix that.
      
      Add a note to the description of the 'nowatchdog' kernel
      parameter to associate it with this message.
