[resent with cc: stable and a bit more context]
I've been experiencing solid hangs on my beaglexm with v3.7 after
kexec:
here is my .config (omap2plus + EHCI/OHCI + CPUFREQ + DEVTMP):
http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/omap3_cpufreq_kexec/config
here is the diff i added to get some debugging:
http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/omap3_cpufreq_kexec/dpll-debug.diff
here is a trace of the kexeced kernel:
http://people.canonical.com/~ppisati/omap3_cpufreq_kexec/kexec-boot.txt
And after a second look it's clear what's going on:
[...]

[hangs here]
first time[1] it tries to ramp up frequency (and thus voltage),
regulator_set_voltage() returns an error and we exit:
omap-cpufreq.c::omap_target():
...
dev_dbg(mpu_dev, "cpufreq-omap: %u MHz, %ld mV --> %u MHz, %ld mV\n",
freqs.old / 1000, volt_old ? volt_old / 1000 : -1,
freqs.new / 1000, volt ? volt / 1000 : -1);
/* scaling up? scale voltage before frequency */
if (mpu_reg && (freqs.new > freqs.old)) {
r = regulator_set_voltage(mpu_reg, volt - tol, volt + tol);
if (r < 0) {
dev_warn(mpu_dev, "%s: unable to scale voltage up.\n",
__func__);
freqs.new = freqs.old;
goto done;
}
}
ret = clk_set_rate(mpu_clk, freqs.new * 1000);
...
but inside regulator_set_voltage(), we save the new regulator voltage before
actually ramping up:
core.c::regulator_set_voltage():
...
regulator->min_uV = min_uV;
regulator->max_uV = max_uV;
ret = regulator_check_consumers(rdev, &min_uV, &max_uV);
if (ret < 0)
goto out2;
ret = _regulator_do_set_voltage(rdev, min_uV, max_uV); <-- ERROR!!!
if (ret < 0)
goto out2;
...
and by the time we try to change frequency again[2], regulator_set_voltage()
is a noop because it thinks we are already at the desired voltage:
core.c::regulator_set_voltage():
...
/* If we're setting the same range as last time the change
* should be a noop (some cpufreq implementations use the same
* voltage for multiple frequencies, for example).
*/
if (regulator->min_uV == min_uV && regulator->max_uV == max_uV)
goto out;
...
and as a consequence, in omap_target(), we call clk_set_rate() with
the wrong voltage.
The attached patch restore the original regulator voltage values in case
of an error.
CCing stable@ since it predates 2.6.38rc1 when the noop optimization was
introduced:

regulator: Optimise out noop voltage changes
