Not the new defconfig itself, but the new defconfig plus a variety of
selftest options. I don't know what exactly is failing, but here is
my list of enabled selftests on top of defconfig:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS=y
CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_NMI_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH=y
CONFIG_DMATEST=y
CONFIG_GLOB_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST=y
CONFIG_PCI_EPF_TEST=y
CONFIG_PCI_ENDPOINT_TEST=y
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_STATIC_KEYS_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_STRING_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_TEST_BITMAP=y
CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE=y
CONFIG_TEST_SORT=y
CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_TEST_UUID=y
CONFIG_USB_TEST=y
CONFIG_USB_EHSET_TEST_FIXTURE=y
CONFIG_USB_LINK_LAYER_TEST=y
CONFIG_WW_MUTEX_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y
CONFIG_RBTREE_TEST=y
CONFIG_INTERVAL_TREE_TEST=y
Tests pass after disabling those tests (or after reverting your patch).

Update: defconfig+CONFIG_LOCK_TORTURE_TEST=y causes the hang
if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

Ah, perfect -- I get a lot more worried when things like this pass then when
they fail :)

Great. I'll take a look when I have time, and I definitely won't merge the
patch.
Thanks for testing!

Another update. CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y or CONFIG_WW_MUTEX_SELFTEST=y
also result in hangs, only a bit later. I have now disabled all three test
options in my riscv boot tests if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. The lack of error
reports in the future does _not_ mean that the problem has magically
disappeared. I just find it pointless to keep testing a known broken
configuration, even more so since doing so would hide other potential
problems.

Thanks. I agree it's pointless to test more, as there appear to be lots of
bugs to fix already and this will just mask other bugs.

Last week, I encountered some locking issues in the kernel, so I tried
to test the
kernel with some relative selftests. Since I had already set CONFIG_PREEMPT=y,
I encountered the same results in RCU_TORTURE_TEST and
LOCK_TORTURE_TEST. I tried to debug it and found the hang was due to
the lack of _TIF_NEED_RESCHED check for kernel threads in entry.S. I will send a
patch to solve this problem and I hope you can give me some comments
if you find some
mistakes.
