Hi

Yesterday I done a fresh pull after Linus released 2.6.31-rc1. After
doing a clean boot, my machine started crashing randomly. I rebooted
several times. Also my X-server and Window-Manager (ion3) did not
start properly and was not really working. The machine suddenly hung
out of nowhere. What do you need? I attached my /var/log/messages

I got stuff like this on my screen:

Real cute...  Disassembly of that sucker:
	decl   0x535657e5(%ecx)
which matches nicely the address in page fault.  However, that doesn't
look even remotely plausible for a beginning of function.  OTOH,
disassembly at one byte offset from that gives
	mov    %esp,%ebp
	push   %edi
	push   %esi
	push   %ebx
which is exactly what you'd expect to see in such place.  IOW, you've
got an off-by-one - it had jumped at one byte before the actual entry
point of seq_read().

The interesting question is whether that's a memory corruption of some
kind or a linker fuckup.  Check what does System.map have for
seq_read; if it's that address (c10d1d35), the odds are that you've
got something fishy going on with linking.  Do objdump of vmlinux and
check the functions nearby; ditto for fs/seq_file.o.

Actually, it's not *quite* what you'd expect to see.  What's missing is
	push   %ebp
as the first instruction, preceding that stuff.  And it would take one
byte, so...

... this is not an off-by-one at all.  The first byte of function code
got overwritten with 0xff.  Code before that doesn't seem to be mangled -
it's
	movl   $0x0,0x20(%edi)
	movl   $0x0,0x24(%edi)
	movl   $0x0,0x10(%edi)
	movl   $0x0,0x14(%edi)
	movl   $0x0,0xc(%edi)
	jmp    <a bit back>
which is at least not entirely implausible.  So it seems to be a memory
corruption in .text, which might or might not affect the directly
preceding bytes (0xe9 <signed 32bit int> is a relative jump, so there's
no way to tell whether this 0xff had been the only byte affected - it
would be preceded by 3 0xff coming from small negative integer anyway).

I just done another pull from the Git repository of Linus and booted
from the latest 2.6.31-rc1 and my Machine still hangs after boot up,
with the following message at the end in /var/log/messages

Jumped to nowhere.  For one thing, 0xf6fc0b7c is nowhere near the addresses
where the kernel code would live.  For another, the contents of memory at
that address doesn't look code (a lot of 0, a lot of 0xff *and* several
32bit values that look like addresses nearby (0xf6fc0b50, 0xf6fc0b60).
IOW, some data structures; hell knows what it might have been, but we
have seq_read() seeing m->op->start that points somewhere strange.

Again, memory corruption of some kind.  We have file->private_data that
might have been screwed up, or it might have been right pointer, but
the struct seq_file it points had been overwritten with some crap, or
that might have happened to the methods table ->op of that seq_file points
to...

Having looked at what seq_read() has compiled to in your kernel... what's
the value of ECX in that oops?  That's where m->op ends up and a look at
that sucker might at least narrow it down.

Said that, at this point I'd
	* run memtest, just to exclude the hardware crapping itself; nastier
coincidences happened
	* try bisecting, if oopsen are easy to trigger.
