Hi All,
The regression is observed in the current linux-next on ARM Keystone 2 SoC:
- system is booted till console and in a second or two and then stall, no
messages displayed
(CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y).
The cause of regression has been bisected to the commit:
commit 589a606f9539663f162e4a110d117527833b58a4

percpu: add preemption checks to __this_cpu ops
We define a check function in order to avoid trouble with the include
files. Then the higher level __this_cpu macros are modified to invoke the
preemption check.

If above patch is reverted - system can boot again.
