While running tests on 3.0-rc4 from the wireless-testing git tree, I tested an 
RTL8187B dongle that had not been used for some time. With it, I got the 
following WARNING:

This problem may be related to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31012 and its corresponding report 
at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129995721014931&w=2. AFAICT, this 
regression has not been resolved.

As this dongle has not been used in some time, I do not know when the regression 
occurred, but I will do some tests to determine that, and then do a bisection. 
In the meantime, any suggestions regarding this problem would be appreciated.

The problem does not occur for an RTL8187L, thus only part of rtl8187 is affected.

The regression happened between 2.6.37 and 2.6.38 and this problem is very 
likely the one mentioned in Bug 31012. I have now bisected the problem to commit 
625dbc3b8acbefefefe27e1d7bbc6e53eb4f3f2d entitled "x86: Save rbp in pt_regs on 
irq entry", thus this is an x86_64 problem. After reverting this patch, 3.0-rc4 
runs correctly.

I don't understand enough about the x86_64 instruction set to know why the frame 
pointer is not being set correctly is some instances.

Thanks,

Larry
