Looks like infamous ARM memset() bug. Check this bugreport for solution: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=928#c7
This is a kernel bug, which was fixed in year 2013 by following commits in mainline Linux repository:
455bd4c430b0c0a361f38e8658a0d6cb469942b5 ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations
418df63adac56841ef6b0f1fcf435bc64d4ed177 ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix
The problem should be fixed by backporting those patches (in most cases patches could be applied without any modifications), or can be worked around with -fno-builtin-memset

I got the same kind of problem with yocto. By disabling the power management in the kernel, I was able to boot correctly. It's a workaround... I did not find the root cause yet.

using printk cause error in embedded linux driver programming

printk is one of the core debug technique we use in Linux driver development. I have recently experience a weird problem. I read somewhere saying printk can be used in any context. However, when I use printk inside driver "read" function implementation, I see kernel error after it runs for a while. The error message is as following:

The setup is on a Xilinx Zynq 7020 device. I run a UI program which need touch screen as input device. So I need I2C for that. My driver responsible for reading data from FPGA. After it runs for a while, I got the error. In the log, I have:
[ 113.196794] dma_desc_p[MIC_DMA].ready = 0

These are generated by my printk statements from the "read" function. If I comment away all the printk statements, the program runs ok. Any idea why there is a conflict between printk and I2C driver?

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address...custom board

I have taken rpi as a reference and trying to boot kernel to our custom board, modified the "dts" file by removing all peripherals except UART and Interrupt controller by changing the base address of the rpi board to our board specific address.
Seeting the env variables as follows,
$ setenv initrd 0xc3000000;setenv initrd_high 0xc4000000;setenv fdt_high 0xc1001000;setenv fdt_addr_r 0xc1000000
$ setenv bootargs earlyprintk console=ttyAMA0 mem=128M noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock3 rw rootfstype=jffs2 rw init=/sbin/init
This is the error log we got....

Please help me,Thanks in advance.
Seems like the problem occured in interrupt context in procedure __vic_init. This procedure tried to access virtual address 48000fe0.
By the way - are you sure that this is complete calltrace taken from dmesg?
If this is only a snippet taken from dmesg - put the whole calltrace here.
If you have sources for this procedure __vic_init you can debug it - I mean find the number of the line in source file and do the further debug.

Kernel oops -Page protection fault

My kernel oopsed at kmem_cache_alloc with Oops number 5. I googled what that denotes, and found that it means 'Page protection fault during read access in user mode'. I am not able to find what page protection fault is. Is it the same as general protection fault?

Probably, you have a NULL pointer somewhere in your code. You have something like this:
my_variable->my_sub_structure->my_field
where my_sub_structure is NULL, so the code tries to reach my_field from an invalid memory address.

Understanding exception inside linux kernel

I am trying to debug our embedded linux system under very low temperatures (<40C). The problem is that it does not always boot correctly and I am trying to figure out why. After some analysis I saw that the kernel goes into panic during the start-up with the following output:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Call Trace:
Rebooting in 180 seconds..:
Could anybody give me some hints how to approach the problem? What I want is to understand which component of the system (i.e. memory chip, etc.) causes this failure. I will be very happy to hear any ideas. Thanks.
All the OOPS/panic information show the exception happened in udevd context, I think it may be triggered by "/sbin/modprobe -bv of:NioctlTCfsl,mpc5125-ioctl".
To verify this, you can remove the "/sbin/modprobe -bv of:NioctlTCfsl,mpc5125-ioctl" entry in your root file system to see whether the system can boot up successfully.
I guess your platform CPU is PowerPC architecture. If so, the exception vector is 0x700, it means the instruction fetch exception. CPU tried to fetch one instruction from invalid address. The instruction flow is incremented if there are no jump/branch instructions. If option 1 is verified that it is related to "/sbin/modprobe", please check the kernel module to analysis the instruction fetch exception.
Good luck!

application pool crashes in IIS 7.5

I have created a asp.net application with framework 4.0.
It has a sort of interview screen with so many questions on it with the paging.
It may have 1000 pages with 10 questions in each page.
when users are using this application screen randomly gets frozen and asks for window credentials.
We also keep getting error for the same application in error log as below:
A process serving application pool 'appicationpoolname' suffered a
fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service.
The process id was '4768'. The data field contains the error number.
Not sure if both above error are related or not.
I have created a rule in debugdiag tool for application pool crash and that has generated a dump file. The full call stack for the dump file is as below

Exception Information
In W3WP__~1.DMP the assembly instruction at KERNELBASE!RaiseException+58 in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\KERNELBASE.dll from Microsoft Corporation has caused an unknown exception (0x04242420) on thread 5
I am not sure how to use this to fix the issue. I tried using Winddbg with .loadby sos mscorwks
command but it says invalid module mscorwks
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
MMC
Is this a first chance exception dump or a second chance exception dump ? When you created the rule in Debug Diagnostic tool, did you change something in the Unconfigured first chance exceptions section ?
Based on the stack it seems this is a first chance exception dump. Make sure that you change the Action time for un-configured first chance exceptions to NONE and then let the tool generate a second chance exception dump and that would be worth to look at.
If it generates one, analyze it using debugdiag and paste the stack and we can see why it is crashing
