this? My google search showed me some connection with this option and I
enabled it as well and I don't see the warning anymore. Any idea if this is
a false alarm or a real bug? Looks like I need to enable
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER as well. If so, I can send a patch. Either way let me
know.

Do you have this commit applied?

No. We are using v4.1.x.

ARM: entry: efficiency cleanups


I have cherry-picked this one, but ran into some conflicts which I have fixed. Will try and let you know.

Thanks
