commitd6718941a2upstream. It's very easy to crash the kernel right now by simply trying to enable memtrace concurrently, hammering on the "enable" interface loop.sh: #!/bin/bash dmesg --console-off while true; do echo 0x40000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable done [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & Resulting quickly in a kernel crash. Let's properly protect using a mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
