Attached is a tarball with c code (source) and scripts. Just run ./setup_bug which will compile the source and start a bash with a cs cookie. Then run ./show_bug which dumps the cookie and then fires off some processes and threads. Note the cs_clone command is not doing any core sched prctls for this test (not needed and currently coded for a diff prctl interface). It just creates processes and threads. I see this hang almost instantly.
Josh, I did verify that this occurs on Joel's coresched tree both with and w/o the kprot patch and that should exactly correspond to these patches.
