SubjectRe: Current mainline git (24e700e291d52bd2) hangs when building e.g. perf

Sadly I cannot reproduce, I had:

while :; do make clean; make; done

running on tools/perf for a while, and now have:

while :; do make O=defconfig-build clean; make O=defconfig-build -j80; done

running, all smooth sailing, although there's the hope that the moment I
hit send on this email the box comes unstuck.

SysRq not working is suspicious.. and I take it the NMI watchdog also
isn't firing?

So you have a (real) serial line on that box?

Could you try something like:

debug ignore_loglevel sysrq_always_enabled earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 force_early_printk

with the below patch applied? That always gives me the most reliable
output.
