NMI PMIs really should not return using the normal interrupt_return function. If such a PMI hits in code returning to user with the context switched to user mode, this warning can fire. This was enough to cause crashes when reproducing on 64s, because another perf interrupt would hit while reporting bug, and that would cause another bug, and so on until smashing the stack. Work around that particular crash for now by just disabling that context warning for PMIs. This is a hack and not a complete fix, there could be other such problems lurking in corners. But it does fix the known crash.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
