I triggered a triple fault with gcc 4.5.1 because it did not honor the inline annotation to arch_local_save_flags() function and that function was added to the pool of functions traced by the function tracer. When preempt_schedule() called arch_local_save_flags() (called by irqs_disabled()), it was traced, but the first thing the function tracer does is disable preemption. When it enables preemption, the NEED_RESCHED flag will not have been cleared and the preemption check will trigger the call to preempt_schedule() again. Although the dynamic function tracer crashed immediately, the static version of the function tracer (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set) actually was able to show where the problem was. swapper-1 3.N.. 103885us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule It went on for a while before it triple faulted with a corrupted stack. The arch_local_save_flags and arch_local_irq_* functions should not be traced. Even though they are marked as inline, gcc may still make them a function and enable tracing of them. The simple solution is to just mark them as notrace. I had to add the <linux/types.h> for this file to include the notrace tag.
