Subject: watchdog warnings on 3.4 triggered by perf
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2014 10:56:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHTgTXUSc6Ns-7v6JYKYR6TJCtbrKA+oka18sPTyNhaRkigncg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi.

We are seeing kernel watchdog warnings on Linux 3.4.78 on several
different machines. The warning occurs occasionally when there are
multiple instances of perf stat with an event list each tracing a
different process. This isn't a recent regression as we saw this
happen with earlier versions of 3.4.y too.

Here is the typical stack trace.
