Is there any way to capture the beginning of this trace?
I tried but since the oops scrolls fast followed by a hard freeze, I
wasn't able to capture it completely.
May be I can try netconsole and see if that helps.
I somehow doubt the stack is messed up as the call traces are always identical.
pid_param_set() is on the stack which means that something is changing
the debugfs parameters or the stack is FUBAR.
(pid_param_set() seems to be in first trace as well.)
I don't see how duration_us can be zero unless somehow I am getting
back-to-back
timer callbacks which seems unlikely since the timer is not re-armed until
the timer function is about to return and the driver has done all its work
for the sample period
Do the two oops with common call stack suggest back to back callbacks?
I will add some debugging checks tomorrow to see what is going on. But
sounds like a minimal fix would be to guard against callbacks in quick
succession?
i.e. return from sample if ktime_us_delta(now, cpu->prev_sample) is zero?
Thanks,
