The patch titled lockdep: HPET/RTC fix has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lockdep-hpet-rtc-fix.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lockdep: HPET/RTC fix From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Joseph Fannin reported that hpet_rtc_interrupt() enables hardirqs in irq context: [ 25.628000] [<c014af4e>] trace_hardirqs_on+0xce/0x200 [ 25.628000] [<c036cf21>] _spin_unlock_irq+0x31/0x70 [ 25.628000] [<c0296584>] rtc_get_rtc_time+0x44/0x1a0 [ 25.628000] [<c01198bb>] hpet_rtc_interrupt+0x21b/0x280 [ 25.628000] [<c0161141>] handle_IRQ_event+0x31/0x70 [ 25.628000] [<c0162d37>] handle_edge_irq+0xe7/0x210 [ 25.628000] [<c0106192>] do_IRQ+0x92/0x120 [ 25.628000] [<c0104121>] common_interrupt+0x25/0x2c the call of rtc_get_rtc_time() is highly suspect. At a minimum we need the patch below to save/restore hardirq state.
