I am getting the similar issue as reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/10/187

Can someone tell me if the same issue  because I am getting the problem on Intel Xeon..

Thanks
Preeti

I am seeing exactly the same problem (on 2.6.35 as Preeti reported originally)
on some Xeon servers but only with recently shipped BIOS revisions. The OS is
CentOS 5.5.

In my cases, the system sometimes hangs with no comment, sometimes with a NMI
message immediately before hanging and sometimes with a long trail of
backtrace originating at cpu_idle().  The NMI reason code is different but
in my observation it is usually 21 or 31.

The problem seems to be triggered by accessing a PCI card (via MMIO) because 
until accessing the PCI card, the system will run forever with no problems.

Other servers of exactly the same model (Intel SR2500) but older BIOS revision
are working (working is 3/14/2008, non working is 3/9/2010).  All software is
identical in these cases.

Also, in one instance, kernel v2.6.18 is used on these servers with the
3/14/2008 BIOS revision without a problem.  The rest of the software is again
the same (except for kernel and drivers).

It seems to be a problem with newer kernels combined with the newer Intel BIOS.
I have not tried an older kernel on the newer BIOS yet.

I have not tried the following patches yet which seem to both be for spurious
NMI messages, not accompanied by system lockups:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/16/106
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/1/286

Both nmi_watchdog=0 and pcie_aspm=off options do not solve the problem.

I am not subscribed so please Cc me.

Since nmi_watchdog=0 didn't help -- I believe it's a different issue unrelated
to 'perf' patches you mentioned, probably rcu-people help is needed here.

Given 2.6.35, has anyone tried applying the following patch?

	https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/23985/

It turned out to resolve an otherwise mysterious RCU CPU stall warning
for someone running 2.6.36, IIRC.

Now I've tried 2.6.38-rc5 which already includes that patch, and the
same problems remain.  It also includes the following patch that Preeti
seems to have had some success with on 2.6.35, so my problem must really
be elsewhere:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/6/131

Since a previous BIOS version is known to work I may end up having to
do some BIOS-bisecting today...

	This fix is already in 2.6.35, so this doesn't seem to be an issue.

Ryan,
   Cant say that this patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/6/131) worked for me since I am not able to reproduce the problem quite reliably and now not getting the problem even under the original kernel without this patch.  Just wondering what triggers this problem.

I found that even with downgrading to the same BIOS as the working systems,
the problem on the newer SR2500 systems remains!  There must have been a
recent change in the hardware causing this, or some arcane BIOS setting
that I am overlooking.  I still need to rule out our PCI hardware as the
source of the problem, since PCI parity errors seem to be a usual source
of NMIs, but I thought there would be a standard error code in that case...

Thanks Dave! Ingo has merged it into -urgent branch, so it should

The second patch (not the one you quote) fixed it for me.  Almost 8 days
of uptime and no log spam.

It's appended below for your convenience.  Are you using this

Ingo both patches are already in thread (attached to previous mail
since I've web
access at moment). So just to be sure the 'unflagged' nmi patch is
attached again,
this fix which should be aplied to -tip/master.

Ok, please submit it ASAP then - that ought to address the regression. Please Cc: 
Dave to the patch.

For nonkgdb case 'unflagged nmi fix' patch should be enough. i've
tested it on non-ht machine by self. without it there is no lockup
but only a message about unknown nmi.

for hr-machine with kgdb the things go harder, Don reported lockup on
boot. The second patch might help but i cant test it (here i need help
in testing)

Could these patches fix Dave's non-kgdb problem? Dave isnt using kgdb but is 
probably using perf which triggers NMIs? Dave, can you confirm that?

And it's a spurious NMI message, not actual lockup or other misbehavior, right?

Thanks,

I can't say you the commit id after which unknown-nmi start happening
(i'm out of git tree
at moment) but even then this commit should not be reverted since the
problem is in
p4 code not in the rest of perf system.

I have two patches here (attached) and would really appreciate of
their testing on HT machine
together with kgdb bootup tests enabled. Dave could you please?

perf, x86: P4 PMU -- capture extra nmi on overflow

It was observed that in case of performance nmi an extra
nmi may be issued, capture it otherwise 'unknown' nmi
message will appear.

That's not really acceptable - need to fix it or revert it to the last working 
state. Which commit broke it?

We still trying to resolve it but without success yet. There is no
easy way to revert it. One of the option might be to disable perf on
p4 for a while. If this is acceptable -- i'll cook such patch and send
it to Ingo. Hm?

Ping on this problem, still seeing

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3c on CPU 0.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

on my Pentium-D system here with latest Linus head.

its sometimes 3c, sometimes 3d, I'm going to bisect and push for
reverts if nobody still has any clue about how to fix this.

Dave.

Great, thanks. Though the patch didn't help for Don, ie there is still
an issue which needs to be resolved as well.

Promising...  After 32 minute of uptime, no NMI complaints so far.

I'll let it run overnight and see what happens.

Unfortunately, I have not had success with patch below on my system. :-(

 I fear it's known issue at moment, we're trying to resolve it. There is
an option -- to disable nmi_watchdog (nmi_watchdog=0 boot option).

 But if you have a will or would like to help debug the problem -- mind to
try the patch below? Note the patch is ugly at moment and must *not* be
running on non-P4 system (and I only compile-tested it so no guarantees
at all, and I've CC'ed a couple of people as well)

Since upgrading to -rc2 (-rc3 is compiling right now), I've been getting
complaints at irregular intervals.  This didn't used to happen with 2.6.37.

It's an old crappy 1.6 GHz P4 (HP Pavilion) with an ASUS P4B266LA
motherboard and a 2001 Award BIOS.

Should I bisect this, or does someone know what might be happening?
