After an hour of testing it still has not triggered. This could have multiple
reasons:
- Maybe i reproduced the original crash by pure luck.
To exclude this i'll re-test once again with the non-debug .config.
- There's some kernel image layout dependency that twiddling these options has
hidden.
This is the lowest probability explanation, because the problem
triggered for me after tweaking the original .config and using a different
toolchain.
- These debug options could have narrowed the race window and could make the
race much less likely to occur.
This is the highest probability explanation.
Thanks,
Ingo
