    locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being · 7b3d61cc
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Mike Galbraith bisected a boot crash back to the following commit:
    
      7a46ec0e ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection")
    
    The crash/hang pattern is:
    
     > Symptom is a few splats as below, with box finally hanging.  Network
     > comes up, but neither ssh nor console login is possible.
     >
     >  ------------[ cut here ]------------
     >  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 0 at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:374 netlink_sock_destruct+0x82/0xa0
     >  ...
     >  __sk_destruct()
     >  rcu_process_callbacks()
     >  __do_softirq()
     >  irq_exit()
     >  smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
     >  apic_timer_interrupt()
    
    We are at -rc7 already, and the code has grown some dependencies, so
    instead of a plain revert disable the config temporarily, in the hope
    of getting real fixes.
