Cool, that looks fairly convincing.

And you're _sure_ none of them has a "break-everything" hunk in it? :)


I see you have FTRACE enabled. That's new and could potentially bugger
things up without the compiler knowing, so can you turn that off.

And can you enable CONFIG_CODE_PATCHING_SELFTEST and
CONFIG_FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST, that will enable tests of some code I changed
that /could/ (maybe) cause random blow ups.

Also, how old is the machine? Any chance you're just seeing random
memory corruption?

cheers
