We are facing an issue on which we need some help.
简要记录：
We have enabled SMP in Linux 2.6.39.4 kernel and cross compiled it for PPC-476. After booting, kernel is able to map both the processors (2 cores at h/w). The problem we are facing is, while running modprobe command repeatedly, one of the cpu goes into stall state. We have tried to dump stack of all active cpus (using sysrq) while one of the cpu is in stall state. The stack dump showed both the processors were executing same process (with same PID) i.e. modprobe.
问题： 1. 两个处理器是否有可能在具有相同 PID 的运动中执行相同的进程。2. 两个进程的执行是否同时引起了一些竞争条件，导致其中一个 CPU 进入停顿状态。
