Do you have mutex debugging turned on?
It doesn't seem to be a compiler bug. Fails in the same place,
when compiled with gcc-3.3
Reading the code, it looks like the test case double_unlock_mutex()
fails, because the mutex lock->owner == NULL.
whereas, in kernel/mutex-debug.c, it wanted
void debug_mutex_unlock(struct mutex *lock) {
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->owner != current_thread_info());
This is called from
lib/locking-selftest.c circa line 490
#include "locking-selftest-mutex.h"
GENERATE_TESTCASE(double_unlock_mutex)
This may be because include/linux/mutex-debug.h which has
__DEBUG_MUTEX_INITIALIZER in it, failes to set .owner to
any interesting value.
WHile I desperately want to conclude that the mutex lock debug
code is broken, it seems to be unchanged fron 2.6.19
(and seems to work fine in 2.6.19-git7), so I am confused.
This also doesn't explain the bizarre form of the failure on
power4 ... does power4 mishandle twi somehow? Will investigate
next.

p.s. To recap: above report is for linux-2.6.20-rc1-git6
I get the following on power5:
