While running LTP tracing the following kernel warning was noticed on qemu_arm running linux next 20201001 kernel. I have not bisected this problem yet.
Reported-by: Naresh Kamboju naresh.kamboju@linaro.org
steps to reproduce: # boot qemu arm with linux next 20201001 tag kernel and this command line
/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu host,aarch64=off -machine virt-2.10,accel=kvm -nographic -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=BA:DD:AD:CC:09:02 -net tap -m 2048 -monitor none -kernel /kernel/zImage --append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda rw" -hda /rootfs/rpb-console-image-lkft-am57xx-evm-20200723162735-41.rootfs.ext4 -m 4096 -smp 2 -nographic
