I am having similar problems with -T1 and separately reported problems with
a build of rc3-mm1-S8 as well (no oops, but the USB mouse is dead).
Somewhere between those two versions (rc2-mm4-S7 and rc3-mm1-S8) is where
the problem appears to be introduced. For now I'll stay with my working -S0
kernel.

disable USB for now - it's broken in -mm and unrelated to -VP. There are
hopes that in -rc3-mm3 USB will work again.

The usb-hubs problem patch in LKML by Greg KH seems to fix this problem.
The thread is 2.6.9-rc3-mm1, bk-pci patch, USB hubs

aha! This is a real one, fixed by the second patch. This piece of code
relied on add_timer_randomness() always being called with preemption
disabled.
these fixes will show up in -S2.

i've released the -S2 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc2-mm1-S2
Changes since -S1:
- added the swapspace-layout patch to fix the get_swap_page()
latencies. (sw-suspend wont compile but everything else should work
fine.)
- fixed the random.c BKL non-preemptability assumption
- export smp_processor_id() to fix modules
- module init smp_processor_id()-debug false positive fix

i've released the -S3 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc2-mm1-S3
most importantly, -S3 fixes the SMP+PREEMPT bug reported by K.R. Foley.
It was a bug in BKL-preemption: forced preemption still caused automatic
dropping of the BKS - this is bad and broke fs/locks.c. (The race could
occur on UP+PREEMPT too but it has never been reproduced there.)
other changes since -S2:
- introduced a CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL - just in case there are other
problems. This can be used to turn BKL preemption on/off. Can be
useful for performance tests as well.
- fixed a couple of more smp_processor_id() false positives.
- cleaned up hardirq.c some more

i've released the -S4 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc2-mm2-S4
-S4 fixes a softirq latency processing bug introduced in -S3. The
symptoms of this bug can be erratic mouse/keyboard behavior, higher
networking latencies, and similar things. (If CONFIG_PREEMPT is disabled
then another effect of this bug can lead to crashes.)

i've released the -S8 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc3-mm1-S8
this iteration is mainly a merge to -rc3-mm1. The -rc3-mm1 tree now
includes the generic-irq-subsystem patch which is a prerequisite of the
threaded-irqs feature in the -VP patch. As a result of this the -VP
patch got significantly smaller, down from 224K to 89K.
also part of the patch are further refinements of the preempt-bkl
feature and a couple of bugfixes, reported for the -mm tree but not
included in -rc3-mm1 yet. (All of these were sent to Andrew too so they
should show up in -mm2.)

i've released the -S9 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc3-mm2-S9
Changes since -S8:
- merge to -mm2. mm2 includes another latency breaker: Hugh Dickins'
vmtruncate rework that should fix the bash-shared-mapping latency.
- fix the x64 compilation bug reported by thewade
- fix the menuconfig duplicate entry bug noticed by Florian Schmidt
- (fix two preempt bugs in -mm2 - will be in -mm3)
to build an -S9 tree from scratch the patching order is:

i've released the -T1 VP patch:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/voluntary-preempt/voluntary-preempt-2.6.9-rc3-mm2-T1
Changes since -T0:
- added the read-lock fix from Hugh that affects SMP systems. This
could fix Rui's problem - i've checked -T1 on a P4/HT box and saw no
problems, BYMMV.
- compilation fixes (for those who downloaded T0 early)
- small tracer improvement
to build a -T1 tree from scratch the patching order is:

No go here. My milleage certainly varies :)
Still the same ugliness here with T1. As before, there goes some info
attached, which I could collect while barely up and running.
I don't wanna be a PITA, but changes are hardly noticed since T0.
Next I'll try building with CONFIG_SCHED_SMT off, and later with
CONFIG_SMP off too, to just try to make some point here.

the dmesg info shows you had a crash early on, in khubd:
Badness in remove_proc_entry at fs/proc/generic.c:688
[<c018c8e8>] remove_proc_entry+0x152/0x15a
[<f8b8e116>] uhci_hcd_init+0x116/0x133 [uhci_hcd]

[<c01044ed>] sysenter_past_esp+0x52/0x71
usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using address 2
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address a49c0e0c
i believe this is a crash present in -mm too. In theory such a crash
could mess up the kernel so best would be if you could try a kernel with
USB disabled? Hopefully none of your critical devices is on USB ...

Yeah, I've found it the hard way :) One of my trials discovered just that,
by booting without any USB devices plugged in. It booted apparently fine.
Then, exacltly when I plug in my USB mouse (Wacom Graphire2 tablet), I
immediately get the following kernel oops (on dmesg):
IRQ#23 thread started up.
IRQ#19 thread started up.
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using address 2

Guess what? It's right after this crash that ksoftirqd/1 pulls up to
99.99%CPU#1 and stays still on that figure, forever. Of course, as Ingo
noted, this was happening behind the scenes every time I was boot/initing.
OTOH, I've tested T1 with CONFIG_SCHED_SMT and/or CONFIG_SMP not set, and
got similar crashes too. So this seems to be some nasty bug introduced by
-mm{1,2}, not by VP on SMP/SMT.
Yes, I do have some critical USB devices around here. One is that wacom
tablet (mouse) and the other is a tascam us-224 audio/midi control surface
that a love very much :)
Don't know if this makes me feeling better, doh.
Cheers.

i believe Andrew said that these USB problems should be fixed in the
next -mm iteration.

Oh yes, I really do hope so :)
Meanwhile, I'm stuck with 2.6.9-rc2-mm4-S7 (SMP), but happy.
Strange thing is, that on my laptop, 2.6.9-rc3-mm2-S9 (UP) is doing just
fine. Guess that ohci_hcd now makes the difference here, against the
former which makes uhci_hcd bad behaved atm.
Thanks Ingo.

FWIW, this one does not work for me either, I get a USB-related Oops on
boot.

by next -mm iteration i meant -rc3-mm3, which is not released yet.

The version numbers are up to Chebyshev polynomials. Now I have to try it.
