As far as I can tell this would only occur if the caller of pthread_mutex_lock was in a "bad" state. I don't believe it is in an interrupt context, and don't know what other bad states
could exist.

We have

#define _CORE_mutex_Check_dispatch_for_seize(_wait) \
   (!_Thread_Dispatch_is_enabled() \
     && (_wait) \
     && (_System_state_Get() >= SYSTEM_STATE_UP))

What is the thread dispatch disable level and the system state at this point?

In case the thread dispatch disable level is not zero, then something is probably broken in the operating system code which is difficult to find. Could be a general memory corruption problem
too. Which RTEMS version do you use?


The thread dispatch disable level is usually -1 or -2.
(0xFFFFFFFE or 0xFFFFFFD).

A negative value is very bad, but easy to detect via manual instrumentation (only an hand full of spots touch this variable) or hardware breakpoints/watchpoints. Looks the rest of _Per_CPU_Information all right?

On Cortex-M interrupt disable around operating system calls leads to unpredictable system behaviour.
