At least this one is now explainable: There is no problem related to
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS. finish_task_switch is not part of the critical
shadow task switch, and the oops I saw finally turned out to be caused
by my buggy virtual hardware (IOW: an unrelated hypervisor bug). Nothing
to worry about for Xenomai or I-pipe.

[Xenomai-core] FYI: CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS conflicts with Xenomai shadows

2010-03-31 Thread Jan Kiszka
Hi,

just ran into an ugly warning of I-pipe as I happened to have
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS enabled in 2.6.32 kernel. That pulls some plain Linux
spinlock into the finish_task_switch path.

We should either disable this feature at I-pipe level or patch it
properly. Haven't checked yet if the latter is feasible with moderate
effort, though.
