I am investigating why on 1 particular machine we get these soft lockup
errors.
When looking at following code in kernel/softlockup.c is it possible for
the touch time stamps get swapped over due to pre-emption and the wrong
touch_timestamp is compared against wrong current time, there by causing
a false soft lockup message.
Should softlockup.c be changed to call get_cpu() rather then
smp_processor_id()
void softlockup_tick(void)
{
int this_cpu = smp_processor_id();
unsigned long touch_timestamp = per_cpu(touch_timestamp, this_cpu);
