Hi ,
I work for Montavista (Cavium Inc) as a Technical Lead . I want to
push some of the kernel patches to rt community (2.6.32 kernel 2.6.33
rt patch) , so that It will go to the main line These patches are
reviewed and approved by our system Architect. I request you to
include in the main line .
It is already in the "main line":

These issues were reported by our

Problem Description:
When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled the following stack trace occurs.
[ 170.814470] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000]
code: sirq-timer/4/62
[ 170.814482] caller is hrtimer_run_pending+0x10/0x20
[ 170.814488] Call Trace:

[ 170.814561] [<ffffffff80206c80>] kernel_thread_helper+0x10/0x18
Root Cause:
Interrupt was occurring before the processor was completely up, and the
softirq
threads were unable to schedule on the processor and then ran on the wrong
CPU.
How Solved:
Enabling of interrupt has been delayed till smp_finish so that
kthread_bind
can safely bind threads to any possible CPU.
I request you to merge the above patch to the main line . If any
questions please contact me atsshaiju@xxxxxxxxxx (shaiju_sada@xxxxxxxxx)

Subject: [PATCH] Interrupt : delaying enabling of interrupt
Source: MontaVista Software, LLC
MR: 47157
Type: Defect Fix
Disposition: Local
ChangeID: 48c837329556b161f3111e6fded1c9857fa3a149
Description:
This patch is to delay the enabling of interrupt till
smp_finish . So that kthread_bind can safely bind
threads to any possible cpu. Without this change
interrupt should occur beofre the processor was
completely up, and the softirq threads were unable
to schedule on the processor and then ran on the
wrong CPU.
