[dann frazier <dann.frazier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been able to reproduce a soft lockup using a pure upstream kernel
(post-4.5 git, after the thunderx pcie drivers were merged) and the d-i
initrd mentioned above. I've attached a log of one of those boots.

I used the Ubuntu config with the following exceptions:

CONFIG_DRM=y and CONFIG_DRM_AST=y - because, so far, I've only seen this with vga enabled.
CONFIG_KVM=n - because some commits fail to boot due to a panic in armpmu code, and KVM won't build w/ ARMPMU diabled.
(and just pressed enter during make oldconfig for everything else).

I could not reproduce with 4.6.0-rc1, so I thought this would be a good
bisect candidate. Unfortunately, that went off into the weeds for a
couple of reasons - vga doesn't work with some changesets, so I had to
skip those, and I also suspect that this issue does not appear in every
boot of a broken kernel, leading to false positive results.

Title:
  ThunderX: soft lockup in cursor_timer_handler() Edit

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I booted a Cavium ThunderX crb1s 2.0 system using the netboot mini iso via virtual media:
    http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-arm64/20101020ubuntu451/images/netboot/mini.iso

  During boot I observed the following lockup on the serial console:
