I'm Seunghun Han, and I work for National Security Research Institute of
South Korea.
I found a kernel panic while I tested latest kernel version.
The kernel panic log is as follows:

I analyzed this kernel panic in detail and found that check_timer() function
passed an invalid argument to unmask_ioapic_irq() function.
The code is as follows:
> int idx;
> idx = find_irq_entry(apic1, pin1, mp_INT);
> if (idx != -1 && irq_trigger(idx))
> unmask_ioapic_irq(irq_get_chip_data(0));
The unmask_ioapic_irq() function wants a "struct irq_data *" argument, but
the code, irq_get_chip_data(0), passes a "struct irq_chip *" value.
To fix an invalid argument passing, I made a patch which passes a return
value of irq_get_irq_data(0).
Thank you.
