You asked for it :)

Please patch 2.6.22-rc2 with

http://tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.22-rc2/patch-2.6.22-rc2-hrt2.patch
and
http://www.tglx.de/private/tglx/ht-debug/tracer.diff

Compile it with the config

http://www.tglx.de/private/tglx/ht-debug/config.debug

You should find something like:

(         swapper-0    |#0): new 67173 us user-latency.

along with the familiar "NOHZ ......" message in your log file.

Once that happened please do:

$ cat /proc/latency_trace >trace.txt

compress it and send it to me along with the full dmesg output or put
both up to some place, where I can download it.

Michal,

IIRC you encountered the same P4/HT related wreckage. Can you do the
same ?

Good news - I can't reproduce this bug. It's time to remove
"Subject    : 2.6.21-git4 BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1!
References : http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/2/511
Submitter  : Michal Piotrowski <[email protected]>
Handled-By : Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>
Status     : problem is being debugged"
from KR.

Bad news - I hit a bug in 2.6.22-rc2-hrt3. Bug symptoms:
- X hangs (keyboard, mouse, sound etc.)
- only Magic SysRq works

Now I'm trying to apply hrtimers debug patch ontop 2.6.22-rc2-hrt3
