Thanks! Frederic, I notice that lockdep is on, did anything change that might slow down the code in lockdep, or is the function graph tracer doing more locking? I'm betting that we are hitting a live lock. That is, an interrupt goes off, it is being traced, and the function graph is tracing it, but some locking is happening (although it also tracks disabling of interrupts) and this slows the interrupt handler down enough that when it finishes, another interrupt goes off. Américo, Could you disable LOCKDEP and see if you still encounter this lockup?
