AIM7 on 2.5.x behaves different than 2.4.x.
On 2.5.x aim7 eventually has a process that doesn't exit.
The process appears to be in an infinite loop. vmstat shows
100% user time. strace -p PID doesn't print anything.
A tasktrace on the hung process (from sysrq T) shows:
multitask R current 16 955243 958223 (NOTLB)
do_IRQ
common_interrupt
vmstat 60 leading up to the never-exiting process:
procs memory swap io system cpu
r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id

14 kernels between 2.5.25 and 2.5.33-mm5 including dj have
behaved the same. None of the 27 kernels between 2.4.19-rc1
and 2.4.20-pre5 (various trees) have had the problem. It has
only been an issue on a uniprocessor box. On SMP aim7 completes
normally.
The last thing in the logfile is a job called "job_timing".
Earlier in the run, job_timing completes on the "dbase" workload.
(job_timing gets scheduled several times).
