I had to go throught several config switch offs,
however now it's pretty clear where it hangs

I got one (just one occurance):

and several rcu stalls.. I guess that's because above path did rcu_read_lock:

I tried what Andy suggested below (not sure what he meant by Merom,
I took PEBS format0 instead), works for me
