20-signal-7.patch
If you get Signal 7 when compiling kernel, apply this patch and the problem will go away. The patch is not the correct solution for the problem but it proves that it is not a hardware problem. Without the patch, the process is sent signal 7. With this patch, schedule() is called and after that, __get_free_page does not fail again. I get the error about once per hour on a machine running two concurrent "make -j" in an endless loop since four days now. But instead of the compiler getting SIG7 I get the line "Ingo's Patch was..." in the syslog.
