I can reproduce the errors in a clean build. And I find the root cause to be
the below line in rcutiny.c:
==> #ifdef CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
/*
* Test whether RCU thinks that the current CPU is idle.
*/
int rcu_is_cpu_idle(void)

Sometimes it does run out of *memory*, because I aggressively put all
.o files in tmpfs ;) In which case the make/gcc tasks are killed and
the abnormal situation is detected by grepping for "Terminated" lines
in the build log.
