So the code section says the faulting instruction is:
f3 a5
followed by:
48 89 c7 85 50 ff ff
or so.
My compiled code is 'different', the function is shorter, but there's a f3 a5 somewhere not too far short of +d7 at +a8. I have (objdump -SD):
35a8: f3 a5 rep movsl %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
for_each_cpu_and(i, sched_group_cpus(group), env->cpus) { unsigned long capacity, capacity_factor, wl; enum fbq_type rt;
rq = cpu_rq(i); 35aa: 48 c7 c1 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rcx
And that's the only part that could possibly match.
That looks like the start of find_busiest_queue(). I'm not entirely sure what the rep movsl is operating on, lemme try and figure that out.
