Thanks, -rc4 did fix the bug. I noticed profiling the kernel with PREEMPT_DESKTOP that mcount and __mcount add quite a bit of overhead. Something like .5% CPU each. Sorry, I didn't save the oprofile output. So, disable CONFIG_MCOUNT if you want minimal overhead from the RT patches. IIRC it was previously stated that the latency tracing overhead could be mostly avoided by disabling it at runtime.
