[BUG] [ tip/sched/core ] System unresponsive after booting

[Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>]

Hi all,

I use the tip/sched/core branch.

After git pulling yesterday, my host is unresponsive after booting the OS.

  * It boots normally
  * It sends info to the console
  * The graphics does not work
  * The terminals show the prompt, I can enter the username but after 
pressing enter, it does not give the password prompt
  * sysrq works more or less, I can't get the process stack but it 
receives the command

It is like no new process can be created.

I have a dual Xeon processor E5325 (2 x 4 cores).

After git bisecting, the following patch seems to introduce the bug.

     sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling 
parameters ABI

     Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
     with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
