the problem is on UP too - if there are no SCHED_OTHER tasks. I've
tested the fix and it solves the problem for various combinations of
crash.c. I've updated sched.git, please pull it from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched.git
It has another commit besides this fix. Thanks,
Ingo

Ingo Molnar (2):
sched: fix crash in sys_sched_rr_get_interval()
sched: default to more agressive yield for SCHED_BATCH tasks
