While running LTP tracing ftrace-stress-test kernel on x86_64 got panic on stable rc 4.19 branch. I have checked this kernel panic has been happening from the beginning of 4.19 release. I will run git bisect starting from 4.18 and get back to you on this email thread. steps to reproduce: # Boot qemu x86_64 with trace configs enabled. # cd /opt/ltp # ./runltp -f tracing Test output log: --------------------- ftrace-stress-test 1 TINFO: Start pid16=3123 /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/ftrace_stress/ftrace_tracing_cpumask.sh ftrace-stress-test 1 TINFO: Start pid17=3124 /opt/ltp/testcases/bin/ftrace_stress/ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh [ 81.695606] Core dump to |/bin/false pipe failed [ 81.696936] false (3169) used greatest stack depth: 11224 bytes left [ 81.711194] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b [ 81.711194] [ 81.720342] CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 4.19.142-rc2 #1 [ 81.726622] Hardware name: Supermicro SYS-5019S-ML/X11SSH-F, BIOS 2.0b 07/27/2017 [ 81.734121] Call Trace: [ 81.736599] ? ftrace_graph_caller+0xb0/0xb0 [ 81.740890] dump_stack+0x7a/0xaa [ 81.744245] panic+0xe6/0x239 [ 81.747260] ? panic+0x5/0x239 [ 81.750343] ? ftrace_graph_caller+0xb0/0xb0 [ 81.754633] do_exit.cold+0xa0/0xb7 [ 81.758138] ? do_exit+0x5/0xb40 [ 81.761389] ? ftrace_return_to_handler+0x99/0xf0 [ 81.766115] ? ftrace_graph_caller+0xb0/0xb0 [ 81.770399] do_group_exit+0x47/0xb0 [ 81.773992] ? ftrace_graph_caller+0xb0/0xb0 [ 81.778277] get_signal+0x158/0x7e0 [ 81.781797] do_signal+0x37/0x640 [ 81.785136] ? trace_event_raw_event_rcu_dyntick+0x75/0xc0 [ 81.790658] exit_to_usermode_loop+0x78/0xd0 [ 81.794946] prepare_exit_to_usermode+0x66/0x90 [ 81.799495] ? page_fault+0x8/0x30 [ 81.802915] retint_user+0x8/0x18 [ 81.806259] RIP: 0033:0x7f62d3b648a8 [ 81.809850] Code: fe ff ff 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 66 0f ef c0 48 89 e5 41 56 41 54 53 48 81 ec 98 08 00 00 48 8b 45 28 <0f> 29 85 90 f7 ff ff 8b 1d 0f 68 38 00 0f 29 85 a0 f7 ff ff 4c 8b [ 81.828611] RSP: 002b:00007ffe44822e80 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 81.833854] RAX: 00007ffe44823950 RBX: 00007ffe44823950 RCX: 00000000000000d7 [ 81.840997] RDX: 000055a3d336bc15 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000018 [ 81.848138] RBP: 00007ffe44823730 R08: 000055a3d336e9c5 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 81.855278] R10: 00007ffe44823788 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 00007ffe44823800 [ 81.862419] R13: 00000000000000d7 R14: 00007ffe44823840 R15: 0000000000000018 [ 81.869625] Kernel Offset: 0x1f800000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff) [ 81.880417] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b [ 81.880417] ]--- [ 81.890803] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 81.895440] sched: Unexpected reschedule of offline CPU#3!
