Bug#813764: linux-source-3.16: "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" on X10SDV-TLN4F while using perf top

[Rich Ercolani <rercola@acm.jhu.edu>]

Package: linux-source-3.16
Version: 3.16.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I was going about my business, using perf top to see what I was spending a
bunch of my time in on this system, when suddenly, I got this written to
console:

[2425302.546957] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 11 on CPU 1.
[2425302.547625] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
[2425302.548291] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

I've been running this system for several months at this point, and have not
seen this issue at any point prior.

I can't easily reproduce it again, so it may have been something other than
"perf top" that resulted in the behavior, but that's the only unusual thing
I can think of.

Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F, which is a Xeon D-1540 board.
