Running 2.6.29-rc1-next-20090116 on vmware server x86_64 I see this at boot up. Doesn't appear to cause any problem, no idea what kind of thermal problem this is causing me on my VM :) The last linux-next kernel I ran was 2.6.29-rc1-next-20090114 and I do not remember seeing this. But me not remembering doesn't mean it wasn't there..... Any information I can collect or what I can do just let me know. -Eric [ 0.036825] ACPI: Core revision 20081204 [ 0.098568] ftrace: converting mcount calls to 0f 1f 44 00 00 [ 0.099101] ftrace: allocating 21076 entries in 166 pages [ 0.105983] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.105983] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:434 ftrace_bug+0xdb/0x2b1() [ 0.105983] Hardware name: VMware Virtual Platform [ 0.105983] Modules linked in: [ 0.105983] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.29-rc1-next-20090116 #252 [ 0.105983] Call Trace: [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810515bc>] warn_slowpath+0xd8/0xf7 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff8101562d>] ? dump_trace+0x26b/0x27a [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810763c7>] ? find_usage_backwards+0x2c/0xf2 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810777e0>] ? check_usage_backwards+0x2e/0x52 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810762d0>] ? graph_unlock+0x6b/0x77 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81077d33>] ? mark_lock+0x34b/0x35b [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81077d95>] ? mark_held_locks+0x52/0x72 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff813ba274>] ? __mutex_lock_common+0x41a/0x43f [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81018e63>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0xc [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810bc8ab>] ? pagefault_enable+0x9/0x1a [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810bc90a>] ? probe_kernel_write+0x4e/0x74 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810bc8ab>] ? pagefault_enable+0x9/0x1a [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810bc97e>] ? probe_kernel_read+0x4e/0x78 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff8122346e>] ? acpi_thermal_notify+0x7/0xc1 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81029a9f>] ? ftrace_modify_code+0x46/0x75 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff8122346e>] ? acpi_thermal_notify+0x7/0xc1 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810aaecb>] ftrace_bug+0xdb/0x2b1 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff8122346e>] ? acpi_thermal_notify+0x7/0xc1 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff810acc10>] ftrace_convert_nops+0x23d/0x2da [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81713fd3>] ftrace_init+0x116/0x121 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff81213a84>] ? acpi_enable_subsystem+0x3c/0x90 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff816f5d99>] start_kernel+0x40e/0x41e [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff816f5140>] ? early_idt_handler+0x0/0x71 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff816f52c3>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xae/0xb2 [ 0.105983] [<ffffffff816f53d3>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xe9/0xf4 [ 0.105983] ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]--- [ 0.105983] ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffff8122346e>] acpi_thermal_notify+0x7/0xc1 [ 0.105983] actual: 0f:1f:44:00:00 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
