I was wondering if this might be associated with do_sigaction.
do_sigaction is only 0.23 percent of the runtime according to the
oprofile results:
http://khack.osdl.org/stp/298124/oprofile/DBT_2_Profile-all.oprofile.txt
but the profile results for the same run:
http://khack.osdl.org/stp/298124/profile/DBT_2_Profile-tick.sort
show do_sigaction very high and recalc_sigpending_tsk nowhere at all.
Something funny there.
