We are getting somewhat random soft lockups with this signature: [ 86.992215] [] el1_irq+0xa0/0x10c [ 86.997082] [] cursor_timer_handler+0x30/0x54 [ 87.002991] [] call_timer_fn+0x54/0x1a8 [ 87.008378] [] run_timer_softirq+0x1c4/0x2bc [ 87.014200] [] __do_softirq+0x114/0x344 [ 87.019590] [] irq_exit+0x74/0x98 [ 87.024458] [] __handle_domain_irq+0x98/0xfc [ 87.030278] [] gic_handle_irq+0x94/0x190 This is caused by the vt visual_init() function calling into fbcon_init() with a vc_cur_blink_ms value of zero. This is a transient condition, as it is later set to a non-zero value. But, if the timer happens to expire while the blink rate is zero, it goes into an endless loop, and we get soft lockup. The fix is to initialize vc_cur_blink_ms before calling the con_init() function.
