This could be the runaway thread detector triggering, after 4s of
uninterrupted runtime (which is huge, is this intended?). This is a
debug mechanism Xenomai implements to recover from a runaway thread
chewing CPU in primary mode, without having to resort to the reset button.
You can either extend the grace period above the default 4s, using
CONFIG_XENO_OPT_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, or disable the watchdog entirely by
switching off CONFIG_XENO_OPT_WATCHDOG. This said, 4s is really long
already, so the regular kernel might not cope with even more starvation
from normal interrupts.
Other explanation would be not time-related. If
CONFIG_XENO_OPT_DEBUG_SYNCH_RELAX is enabled, any attempt to switch to
secondary mode while holding a real-time (Xenomai created) mutex in the
code would trigger such signal, as a warning to point out a priority
inversion.
