Hi, your commit 'sched/cpuacct: Split usage accounting into user_usage and sys_usage' in -next causes crashes with several of my qemu tests (mac99, q3beige). Reverting the patch fixes the problem. Details and complete logs are available at http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-ppc-next The scripts are published at https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/ppc Crash log and bisect log are attached.
