Thanks for your reply, Frank!

Yes, we're going to test out the 3.14 kernel with backported uprobes patches
for fixing the relative CALL instruction emulation bug and the tmpfs
regression. Do you think if we need to backport even more patches from 3.15+ or
just upgrade to even a newer kernel like 3.18?

I'm not really sure if it's a coincidence. We haven't had any kernel panic in
our production environment for long. This panic just happened right after I
started my systemtap tool :)

Do you think if it'll be helpful to enable the kernel crash dump for offline
analysis if the issue happens again?

Thanks a lot for your time!
