--- Comment #3 from David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com> ---
I'd certainly suspect utrace, especially since I see utrace_free() in your
dmesg output. However, I also see _raw_spin_lock, and that's got me confused.
We added some patches recently to add support for realtime kernels, but we
shouldn't be using raw spinlocks anywhere but realtime kernels.

The only real utrace change lately was the following:

    Fixed PR17181 by making utrace handle interrupting processes better.
