[parisc-linux] Debugging 64-bit kernel crashes involving tst-fork1.

[Carlos O'Donell]

I did some analysis last night, results follow.

Problem:
tst-fork1 crashes the kernel.

Reproduces:
Always.

Prodcedure:
Given the lastest 2.6.20 form our shared tree and compiled for 64-bit,
I enabled slab debugging, and memory allocation debugging, and reran
tst-fork1-static against the kernel. This is a highly reliable test
that can crash your kernel.

Notice the "exited with preempt_count 1", what does that mean?
This time the kernel died in pa_memcpy.

Results:
