Runtime trouble with commit dbd952127d (seccomp: introduce writer locking)

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi folks,

I am having some trouble with commit dbd952127d (seccomp: introduce
writer locking) when running my qemu tests on the upstream kernel.

With powerpc, I get the following crash.

With  mips (both 32 bit and 64 bit), I get

NR_IRQS:256
CPU frequency 200.00 MHz
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
console [tty0] enabled
bootconsole [uart0] disabled

[ and then there is silence ]

In all cases I bisected the problem to the above mentioned commit.

Failures are seen in both linux-next and the tip of Linus' tree.
Test results are on http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders
(look for qwmu results). Build and test scripts are in the mips,
mips64, and powerpc subdirectories of
https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs.

Any idea, anyone, what might be going on, or how I could do to
help tracking this down ?

Thanks,
Guenter
