BUG: soft lockup for a user mode linux image

["Toralf Förster" <toralf.foerster@gmx.de>]

Running trinity (1 process, no victim files, just "$>trinity -C1) for a longer time 
within a 32 bit user mode linux image with a recent git kernel (host: 3.11.3 guest 3.12-rc3-g...)
yields into this konsole message :

 * Starting local
net.core.warnings = 0                                                                         [ ok ]
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [trinity-child0:2031]


and at the host t1 of the "linux"-processes eats all CPU cycles at 1 CPU core.
2 subsequent made back traces made with

$> sudo gdb /home/tfoerste/devel/linux/linux 28144 -n -batch -ex bt

shows nearly a similar position around __get_user_pages() - both are attached.

I'm not surprised that trinity harms a systems - I'm just wondering whether this particular picture is
expected or if it points to an issue.


FWIW the last lines of trinity log were :
