I originally tried to git-bisect v2.6.29 and v2.6.30-rc1 (the first tag to contain the problem), but I ran into multiple kernels that would either not compile or would simply panic on boot. So instead, I did a 'git bisect' on commits between tags 'v2.6.30' and commit-ish '44b7532' to find the commit that _corrected_ the problem (reversing the 'good'/'bad' logic of git-bisect to do the task). First, here's the relevant dmesg output for broken kernels: [ 1.770858] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 1.771080] last sysfs file: [ 1.771163] Modules linked in: [ 1.771287] [ 1.771287] Pid: 531, comm: v86d Not tainted (2.6.30 #1) HP Pavilion dv5000 (ES933AS#ABA) [ 1.771287] EIP: 0060:[] EFLAGS: 00013286 CPU: 0 [ 1.771287] EIP is at lockdep_sys_exit+0x7/0xa0 [ 1.771287] EAX: 00000000 EBX: 00000000 ECX: 00000000 EDX: f73e0000 [ 1.771287] ESI: c3d9e800 EDI: f73e1ed4 EBP: f73e1ec0 ESP: f73e1eac [ 1.771287] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 [ 1.771287] Process v86d (pid: 531, ti=f73e0000 task=f73fe9c0 task.ti=f73e0000) [ 1.771287] Stack: [ 1.771287] f73e1f00 674c2f57 f73e1fb4 f73fe9c0 00000000 f73e0000 c10334c4 f73e0000 [ 1.771287] 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 [ 1.771287] 00004f00 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 0000100a 0000c000 [ 1.771287] Call Trace: [ 1.771287] [] ? resume_userspace+0x8/0x28 [ 1.771287] [] ? syscall_call+0x7/0xb [ 1.771287] [] ? proc_taint+0xab/0x140 [ 1.771287] Code: 04 24 00 4a b6 c1 e8 69 77 7e 00 85 f6 0f 8e 57 ff ff ff eb a5 eb 0d 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 55 89 e5 53 83 ec 10 <65> a1 14 00 00 00 89 45 f8 31 c0 64 8b 1d 20 20 ee c1 8b 83 b0 [ 1.771287] EIP: [] lockdep_sys_exit+0x7/0xa0 SS:ESP 0068:f73e1eac [ 1.779083] ---[ end trace e93713a9d40cd06c ]--- [ 6.777823] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=1) [ 6.777924] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22 [ 6.778031] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22 Michal (uvesafb creator) suggested that I try disabling lockdep to see what happens.

Peter Anvin LKML-Reference: <1244384628.2323.4.camel@bimbo> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar The cherry-pick of the bisected commit seems to work when applied to vanilla v2.6.30. Greg, for v2.6.30.1, could you please cherry-pick commit 3aa6b186f86c5d06d6d92d14311ffed51f091f40? By the way, what happened to the versioning information that used to be contained in the kernel binary filename and 'uname -r' output? I used to see kernels that had version numbers similar to the output of 'git describe'. It was quite useful to have that kind of revision information built into the kernel. - Steven
