Hi, Tristan.

(just change the word from scheduler to timer,
 and add code links, sorry for disturbing you.)

I have no idea without changing the linux timer code.
I also want to know the idea to solve your problem.

If the linux stops over 10 seconds, it appears.
On Xen, that problem is common in x86/VTx, IA64/noVTI and VTI.

soft lockup code:

Thanks,
Atsushi SAKAI
