#11032 assigned bug
Panic with message "failed to acquire spinlock %p for a long time" in usleep

Description
Similar to #10934, but the system panicked in usleep() instead.
This happened on hrev47380, on a gcc2 hybrid running in VMWare Player 6.0.1.
I was running the tests for the Golang toolchain; I left the computer for a while, and when I returned the display was frozen.
The last window displayed was an "application has crashed" dialog for one of the Golang tests.
After attaching a serial console, the backtrace showed that the system had panicked with the message "failed to acquire spinlock %p for a long time".
Attached is the backtrace from the serial console.

Please also add stack traces for the threads running on the other CPUs (running shows the running threads). Furthermore, if that doesn't show the culprit, please enter the spinlock with the spinlock address from the panic message. It should print a "locked from" address which you can feed to ls to get the name of the function that acquired the spinlock.

I attached the executable that causes the crash - it should be able to run on any 32-bit GCC2 hybrid; hopefully this helps to track down the cause.

A workaround for this has been pushed as hrev48139. Leaving ticket open for pdziepak to rework the code properly.

FYI, the workaround only half fixes the issue. It still panics in BKernel::TeamSignalEvent::DoDPC.

Replying to jessicah:

No, that must be a different issue and is not tracked here. DoDPC uses a different spinlock (the team signal spinlock) and none of the 6 total backtraces in these tickets point to it. The panic message is pointing out a general failure to lock a spinlock, any number of places with a deadlock/double lock can be responsible for that and each of those places are different issues. Please open a new ticket with a backtrace and steps to reproduce for the DoDPC case.
