Subject: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
	latencytop/5621

Hi Ingo,
I am experiencing %subj whenever I run latencytop with the rc4 kernel. I
have bisected down to the patch 7cbaef9c83e58bbd4bdd534b09052b6c5ec457d5
I am not sure whether this is the same problem as the one reported by
Maciej Rutecki (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/12/266), but I have tried
your patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/12/295) and the problem is
still there:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:
latencytop/5621
caller is native_sched_clock+0x47/0x65
Pid: 5621, comm: latencytop Not tainted 2.6.28-rc4 #13

I receive flood if this messages immediately after latencytop starts.
Reverting 7cbaef9c83e58bbd4bdd534b09052b6c5ec457d5 solves the problem.
Config is attached.

Let me know if you need some more testing (however I will afk until
Tuesday).

Best regards
