kick_handler() doesn't have an irq_enter/exit pair, but it's used for handling SMP IPIs which require work to be done in softirqs, which are invoked from irq_exit() when the hard irq nest count reaches 0. The scheduler_ipi() callback in the IPI handler calls irq_enter/exit itself, but this is inside kick_handler()'s spin lock critical section, so if an invoked softirq issues an IPI the kick_handler() will be re-entered on the same CPU and will deadlock. This is easily fixed by adding the missing irq_enter/exit to kick_handler() so that the hard irq nest count doesn't reach 0 until after the spin lock has been released. Ideally the spin lock protected handler list will also be replaced by a lockless RCU protected list since it is certainly mostly read. That can be done in a later change though.
