My Dell Latitude E6530 crashes with a specific kernel lockup almost exactly 4 hours after boot if there isn't a cable connected to the Ethernet port: [14508.846327] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 [14468.229720] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 [14463.254791] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 [14491.134413] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 1 [14463.396593] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2 [14490.390223] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 1 [14494.680591] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 [14513.365378] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 1 [14482.271716] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 3 [14479.906820] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 As far as I can tell, the timestamp jitter is just how long it takes me to enter the cryptLUKS passphrase for the hard drive at boot... lspci tells me: lspci -vvv -s "00:19.0" 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04) DeviceName: Onboard LAN Subsystem: Dell Device 0535 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 28 Region 0: Memory at f7700000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 1: Memory at f7739000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Region 2: I/O ports at f040 [size=32] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee00318 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [e0] PCI Advanced Features AFCap: TP+ FLR+ AFCtrl: FLR- AFStatus: TP- Kernel driver in use: e1000e The traceback always looks like: [14479.906820] Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 0 [14479.906908] Call Trace: [14479.906914] <NMI> [<ffffffffba94db16>] dump_stack+0x50/0xa8 [14479.906930] [<ffffffffba948bb9>] panic+0xcd/0x1e4 [14479.906940] [<ffffffffba166a60>] ? perf_event_task_disable+0xc0/0xc0 [14479.906952] [<ffffffffba125d8b>] watchdog_overflow_callback+0x9b/0xa0 [14479.906959] [<ffffffffba16a684>] __perf_event_overflow+0xc4/0x1f0 [14479.906968] [<ffffffffba16b3a4>] perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x20 [14479.906976] [<ffffffffba022271>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x1e1/0x430 [14479.906990] [<ffffffffba01a0f6>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x26/0x40 [14479.906999] [<ffffffffba0085b3>] nmi_handle+0x103/0x340 [14479.907005] [<ffffffffba0084b5>] ? nmi_handle+0x5/0x340 [14479.907017] [<ffffffffba008a53>] default_do_nmi+0xc3/0x120 [14479.907032] [<ffffffffba008b98>] do_nmi+0xe8/0x130 [14479.907044] [<ffffffffba95c9a8>] end_repeat_nmi+0x1e/0x2e [14479.907055] [<ffffffffba529886>] ? e1000e_cyclecounter_read+0x16/0xc0 [14479.907061] [<ffffffffba529886>] ? e1000e_cyclecounter_read+0x16/0xc0 [14479.907069] [<ffffffffba529886>] ? e1000e_cyclecounter_read+0x16/0xc0 [14479.907075] <<EOE>> [<ffffffffba0e9529>] timecounter_read+0x19/0x60 [14479.907088] [<ffffffffba53687e>] e1000e_phc_gettime+0x2e/0x60 [14479.907098] [<ffffffffba536a31>] e1000e_systim_overflow_work+0x31/0x70 [14479.907105] [<ffffffffba07ad19>] process_one_work+0x3c9/0x980 [14479.907115] [<ffffffffba07ac62>] ? process_one_work+0x312/0x980 [14479.907125] [<ffffffffba07b348>] ? worker_thread+0x78/0x760 [14479.907134] [<ffffffffba07b59c>] worker_thread+0x2cc/0x760 [14479.907144] [<ffffffffba07b2d0>] ? process_one_work+0x980/0x980 [14479.907154] [<ffffffffba082a5e>] kthread+0xfe/0x120 [14479.907163] [<ffffffffba08ca50>] ? finish_task_switch+0x50/0x1c0 [14479.907173] [<ffffffffba082960>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x270/0x270 [14479.907179] [<ffffffffba95ae4f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 [14479.907188] [<ffffffffba082960>] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x270/0x270 [14479.907243] Kernel Offset: 0x39000000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff) Bisection tells me it's this commit: commit 83129b37ef35bb6a7f01c060129736a8db5d31c4 Author: Yanir Lubetkin <yanirx.lubet...@intel.com> Date: Tue Jun 2 17:05:45 2015 +0300 e1000e: fix systim issues Two issues involving systim were reported. 1. Clock is not running in the correct frequency 2. In some situations, systim values were not incremented linearly This patch fixes the hardware clock configuration and the spurious non-linear increment.
