0xc0135d9a is in getnstimeofday (kernel/time/timekeeping.c:104).
99      
100                     /* read clocksource: */
101                     cycle_now = clocksource_read(clock);
102     
103                     /* calculate the delta since the last update_wall_time: */
104                     cycle_delta = (cycle_now - clock->cycle_last) & clock->mask;
105     
106                     /* convert to nanoseconds: */
107                     nsecs = cyc2ns(clock, cycle_delta);
108     

Which implies that someone mucked up xtime_lock.

But I don't think any of that is correct.  The getnstimeofday is just
stack gunk.  hald is in D state and is asleep in get_request_wait().
