It's very easy to crash the kernel right now by simply trying to enable memtrace concurrently, hammering on the "enable" interface loop.sh: #!/bin/bash dmesg --console-off while true; do echo 0x40000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/memtrace/enable done [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & [root@localhost ~]# loop.sh & Resulting quickly in a kernel crash. Let's properly protect using a mutex.
