Softirq trace when stopping wpa_supplicant

When I turn of my netbook (atom, i386) I get a trace on a softirq problem.
Unfortunately I was not able to grab the text but I added an image of the trace anyway.

in cases of bactkrace reports, can you enable KALLSYMS so we get proper symbols? (it'd also resolve module addresses which is not possible to do by hand)

The original problem seems to be a vanilla problem.
Sorry for the early report.

As for the KALLSYMS:
Code: Select all
$ grep KALLSYM netbook/config
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
# CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is not set

If the documentation is right the KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is only needed when the KALLSYMS are broken.
With the vanilla kernel setting KALLSYMS is enough for more information. Not with grsecurity it seems.

For now this subject is closed.

yeah, you need to disable HIDESYM too.
