I could confirm that the variable is used only in code that is built when CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled. Note that the problem can't be seen on x86. There the softlockup detector is enforced together with hardloclup detector via via HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF. Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmla...@suse.com> Best Regards, Petr
