I'm also seeing a similar issue on an embedded PowerPC. Makes my serial

Ok, looks bad. It's through
__dequeue_signal():
collect_signal():
__sigqueue_free():
free_uid()
where we hold the sigqueue lock. We do _not_ want to do BH processing
there with the lock held and interrupts disabled, so the warning is
correct, and that uidhash_lock patch potentially causes more problems than
it fixes.
Perhaps the easiest solution is to just make them irq-safe instead
of bh-safe? An alternative might be to make __sigqueue_free() do its work
through RCU callbacks too, but that seems wrong.
Comments? Ingo?

More data points. I'm seeing two slightly different to each other (one
has a preempt_schedule() in the middle of the call sequence) and
different to those already reported versions of this problem on a Pentium 4:
