I probably botched something during the reverting - I now tried some more experiments and the system now runs without BUGs and without kernel leak - of course it needs some more uptime to be really sure. My combined revert patch from 3.12.15-rt25 is at http://pastebin.com/MYLqbmZw That was all that was needed.
Yeah, i know a handful of people [amd users] that have now reported success booting into 3.14-rt1 reverting those patches. Personally, I have disabled NO_HZ_FULL and have switched back to 'old tick' method in kconfig. I don't think the latest no_hz stuff is stable enough...
My problems were with periodic timers (I am on an embedded system
that runs things periodically anyway and I have also my doubts
regarding the stability), so the latest code did not break
only NO_HZ_FULL.
Thanks
