Updated one below (with indentation fix as added bonus :-) [PATCH -mm] softlockup-improve-debug-output.patch fix (v2) kernel/softlockup.c: In function 'softlockup_tick': kernel/softlockup.c:125: warning: 'regs' is used uninitialized in this function is a genuine bug (will cause an oops in all probability, or cause wrong info to be printed, if we're lucky). So let's fix the softlockup-improve-debug-output.patch to actually work as intended.
