EDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Since I've got a similar system (except mine isn't an athlon), I decided
to take a look at these. See stuff below.

Distro: Fedora FC5
Stack fault on the cpu. Halting the machine, This is x86 previously
only filed for x86_64
probe kernel.function("*") { print(".") }
To narrow it down a bit, this causes the same stack fault
probe kernel.function("*@kernel/*") { printf("here\n"); }
I've narrowed this one down. This only happens when probing
'atomic_notifier_call_chain'.
This one produces an oops, I can post the end of it, if nobudy else
can reproduce that has a serial console.
probe kernel.function("*@kernel/spinlock.c") { printf("."); }
I've reproduced this one with '_spin_unlock_irqrestore'. On the console
I get:
BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0
With those two functions added to the blacklist (I'm not sure that is
the right fix, I just want to get past those two functions), the
following works correctly:
probe kernel.function("*@kernel/*") { printf("here\n"); }
Now your first probe (probing the entire kernel) still fails. I'm
trying to narrow it down.
