From e3a61b0a8c0e342e700a61cd554b01050f333a36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Arlott Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:32:54 +0100 Subject: x86: add unknown_nmi_panic kernel parameter It's not possible to enable the unknown_nmi_panic sysctl option until init is run. It's useful to be able to panic the kernel during boot too, this adds a parameter to enable this option.
