You didn't say what you had been doing prior to this happening.

I had the same fault after I rebuilt my system from one drive to
another, changing partition sizes as I went.  Since I had the old
(functioning) drive and the new, I played around with fstab switching
partitions between the old and new and found that xfs died on the new
/tmp partition, at which time I noticed the permissions were wrong -
there must be a 't' at the end.

chmod brought xfs back to life.  Why it wants to write program text to
/tmp I don't know, or more importantly does it _need_ to.
