So somehow the init task ends up with a non-zero preempt_count()? Per FORK_PREEMPT_COUNT we should exit __ret_from_fork() with a zero count, are you hitting the WARN_ONCE() in finish_task_switch()? Does CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y yield anything interesting? I can't make sense of this right now, but it's a bit late :) I'll grab some toolchain+qemu tomorrow and go poke at it (and while at it I need to do the same with powerpc).One possible issue is that s390's init_idle_preempt_count() doesn't apply on the target idle task but on the _current_ CPU. And since smp_init() -> idle_threads_init() is actually called remotely, we are overwriting the current CPU preempt_count() instead of the target one.Indeed, this becomes quite obvious when tracing the preemption count changes. This also means that s390 relied on the idle_thread_get() from the hotplug machinery to properly setup the preempt count, rather than init_idle_preempt_count() - which is quite yuck. I'll write a patch for that and likely one for powerpc.
Can you reproduce the problem with a powerpc qemu emulation ? If so, how do you reproduce it there ? Reason for asking is that I don't see the problem with any of my powerpc emulations, and I would like to add test case(s) if possible. Thanks, Guenter
