Description jh 2014-06-21 03:40:43 UTC
Linux version:
Linux version 3.4.20-rt31+

gcc version:
gcc version 4.6.4 20120303 (prerelease) (GCC)

processor infomation:
Processor       : ARM926EJ-S rev 5 (v5l)
BogoMIPS        : 199.06
Features        : swp half thumb fastmult edsp java 

testing procedure:
1.build test code
# arm-dspg-linux-uclibceabi-gcc -o lock_test pthread_lock_test.c -lpthread -Wall
2.run at linux shell
# ./lock_test

# 

The results of the analysis:
1.When problems arise PC at pthread_mutex_lock function call can not quit,this thread can't be scheduled(stopped).
2.Two threads(thread1,thread2) are likely happen.
