[Bug kprobes/2294] New: current.stp causes NX protection fault on i686 SMP


It has been reported in two cases that current.stp causes an NX protection fault.

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2006-q1/msg00157.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2006-q1/msg00397.html

The two kernels reported to crash are 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp.i686 and
2.6.9-30.ELsmp.i686.  Both reports had a similar stack trace as well, starting with:

  kretprobe_trampoline
  do_timer
  timer_interrupt
  kretprobe_trampoline

Several other kernels and a different architecture (x86_64) were tested and did
not experience this crash.
