It is an I-pipe issue, probably. We have to somewhat forge the register frame
passed to the Linux tick handler, since we may delay that call. Some register
values the profiling code attempts to dereference to find the preempted code may
be wrong in our case.
Could you 1) send back a disassembly of the profile_tick routine in your kernel
image, then apply the following patch to check whether it improves the situation
as well? TIA,
