On ARCH_BRCMSTB using 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, still seeing the following futex warning, unfortunately simply running the function tracers does not allow me to trigger the warning, so I am having a hard time coming up with a simple reproducer:
[...]
I've now also seen this warning on x86_64 when running Firefox. I don't know why it didn't show up in my earlier testing.
I remain sceptical that a cherry-picking approach is going to work for fixing futexes on 4.9. But I now have an additional patch series that seems to fix this warning (and some other older bugs that I didn't reproduce) and continues to pass the self-tests. I'll send that along shortly.
