The way more interesting information is:

[   13.140000]  lock: 0x97fe9fc0, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: -1

That lock is not contended, which makes no sense at all. The only
explanation for such a behaviour would be a tight spin_lock/unlock
loop on the other core which is exposed through the spinlock debugging
code (it uses trylocks instead of queueing in the ticket lock).

Ingo, can you provide the backtrace of CPU0 please?

Thanks,

	tglx
