Arm64 stack issues (was Re: FreeBSD status for/on ODroid-C2?)

I updated to head -r312982 on the pine64 that I have access to:

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD pine64 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT  r312982M  arm64 aarch64 1200020 1200020

after several months of not using the pine64.
( -mcpu=cortex-a53 used for buildworld buildkernel;
 non-debug variant of GENERIC [GENERIC included
then overridden]; usb SSD root file system)

I find that any time some of the cores are busy I get thousands
of the gic0 spurious interrupt messages in fairly sort order.
(This is not new: it is unchanged.)

For example during either of:

openssl speed

or:

cp /dev/zero /dev/null
(similarly for copying actual files around,
local or nfs involved)

Once the cores are no longer busy the gic0 messages stop.

The "on CPU<?>" varies. The "last irq: <?>" varies.
(But 27 is the most common by far.)

Note that on the pine64 the network interface hangs from time to time and I get a core dump with very low frequency from long running processes, eg the shell that invokes "make world". Note that I had similar issues on the ODroid-C2.

Currently rebuilding world without MALLOC_PRODUCTION.

The arm64 port is getting close to working 100%, just a last few glitches.

While very rare, I have seen the gic0 notices on armv6 (e.g., a bpim3)
during large builds (with -j 4). Recently I got a:

gic0: Spurious interrupt detected: last irq: 29 on CPU1

on:

# uname -apKU
FreeBSD bpim3 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r312726M: Tue Jan 24 20:57:48 PST 2017     markmi at FreeBSDx64:/usr/obj/bpim3_clang/arm.armv6/usr/src/sys/BPIM3-NODBG  arm armv6 1200020 1200020

while building devel/gcc6 (via a full bootstrap) via -j 4 .

This is from a non-debug buildworld buildkernel context and has MALLOC_PRODUCTION=
in /etc/make.conf . No /etc/malloc.conf present. I do use -mcpu=cortex-a7 .

The M's are generally tied to powerpc64 and powerpc
explorations. I tend to use the same source for all
the TARGET_ARCH's that I build.
