OK, so I'm running on an IVB-EP with PTI enabled. I insta triggered a
lockdep splat, after fixing that I get NMI watchdog triggers that look
like false positives; and I suspect:
[ 290.791675] perf: Dynamic interrupt throttling disabled, can hang your system!
is responsible for that. That is, subsequent stacktraces for the same
CPU are unrelated, which make it look like the CPU actually makes
progress.
So remind me again, how are you running that fuzzer? I'm running
./fast_repro99.sh as root.
