Hi Lars, I see the double-faults in your dmesg. Those are usually indicative of a failed user->kernel CR3 switch on entering the kernel. Could you run a copy of the x86 selftests? From the kernel tree I usually do: cd tools/testing/selftests/x86/ make for i in *_64 *_32; do ./$i || break; done See if any of those fail. I wonder if we screwed up something in the SYSCALL code in entry_64_compat.S. It's probably been much more lightly tested than all the other entry code. I'll see if I can reproduce this.
