I tried latency -t 1 on an SMP machines, and observed a very
reproducible crash. Most of the time, the machine locks up
completely. The rest of the time, I get :

Xenomai: suspending kernel thread e7559044 ('timerbench') at 0xb01051f2 after ex
ception #14

And the system remains runnable, but 0xb01051f2 is not a valid kernel
module text address.

The lock up does not seem to be detected by any Xenomai or Linux
debug or watchdog. Only enabling the NMI watchdog seems to
systematically produce the exception 14 instead of the lockup.

I ve tried to put a printk at the beginning of timer_task_proc outer
loop. It get printed once when getting the exception 14, and twice when
getting the lock up.

Any idea where to look ?

Two proposals to collect information:

o give KGDB a try
o instrument the xenomai exception handler with an ipipe_trace_freeze()
  (something which should be merged into SVN later)

Looks like a kernel-based task stack address on x86.

Actually, this address really is a kernel text address, because I use
the CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, which seems a way to configure a machine with
1GB RAM. The crash also happens with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G, but the text
address is 0xc01051f2.

I tried adding a call to show_stack() in xnpod_fault_handler, and it
shows that the crash happens right after the call to rthal_nmi_arm in
xnarch_program_timer_shot:

And now the most interesting: when compiling Xenomai in the kernel,
(which moves Xenomai code out of vmalloc'ed memory) the bug disappears.

The I-pipe tracer as well as Linux NMI handling have the same issue
which is the cause for the exceptions 14: they rely on a correct
"current" to read the processor id. The first attached patch, to be
applied after the ipipe patch, add an ipipe_processor_id_notrace
function, which is called instead of raw_smp_processor_id() in the
second, I-pipe tracer, attached patch.
