I write a module, and find kdump can't boot in the following case. Kernel version is 3.4.24, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620, and kernel v3.12 has the same problem too.
Here is the code: struct timer_list g_timer; void tmrhnd_invtssfault(unsigned long data) { long __res; printk(KERN_EMERG "invalid TSS fault in interrupt context.\n"); __asm__ volatile("int $0x0A" : "=a"(__res):); } { ... init_timer(&g_timer); g_timer.expires = jiffies + 10; g_timer.data = 0; g_timer.function = tmrhnd_invtssfault; add_timer(&g_timer); ... } Here is the log: [ 87.801066] kpgenm: invalid TSS fault in interrupt context.
