Yeah. Also, inevitably the false positives have a higher likelyhood
of making it into a released kernel, often because the bugs where
there was a real lockup as well got noticed via other means.

It's similar with compiler warnings as well: the questionable ones where
GCC is wrong or at least confused accumulate.

Also note that here there's a real lockup here as well, shortly after the lockdep
message - the boot never continues, the box keep spewing the PPS debug messages:

[ 76.240020] pps pps0: PPS event at 4294911356
[ 76.244380] pps pps0: PPS event at 1295471377.240018362
[ 76.249608] pps pps0: capture assert seq #2

[ 78.273621] pps pps0: capture assert seq #4
[ 79.276018] pps pps0: PPS event at 4294912115

[ 79.285619] pps pps0: capture assert seq #5

But nothing happens, the boot never continues.

Thanks,

Ingo
