Dear Adam,
I tried for objdump and searching for "47356" not "473569", I found the following output:
00047350 <rcu_barrier_bh>: 47350: 55 push %ebp 47351: ba 84 4e 02 00 mov $0x24e84,%edx 47356: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 47358: 83 ec 14 sub $0x14,%esp 4735b: 8d 45 f8 lea -0x8(%ebp),%eax
I guess that this is related with the RCU and i tried different options for the RCU by changing Processor related options like PREEMPT etc... However, could not succeed in passing through the RCU system, each time different errors show up.
Would it be possible to completely remove the RCU system? do you have a tip on this? Because I could not unfortunately disable it...
Best Regards,

Dear Adam, thank you very much for your fast reply. I have checked once again the boot parameters for kernel and here is the line to boot up the linux:
L4.default_loader:start( { }, "rom/vmlinuz.android mem=256M console=ttyLv0 ramdisk=rom/rootfs.tar.gz root=1:0 ramdisk_size=32768 l4x_rd=rom/rootfs.tar.gz init=/etc/preinit");
In other words, the console parameter is already set as you pointed out. However, I will try the gdb/objdump option and inform you about it if I might successfully test it with gdb/objdump.
Best Regards,

Would you please have an idea or a suggestion for this problem?
Do you have console=ttyLv0 on the linux command line? That would probably give an ooops-printout with much more info, given it is already that far in booting up that this works. Alternatively you can check with gdb/objdump of vmlinux what's at and around 0x473569 to figure out what's going on.
