Additional Information

I installed linux 4.4.0 headers because VMware asked. My machine is ThinkPad T430. And I got these messages by chroot into the disk.

I re-install the OS, and got into the same problem. Then I realized that the problem occurred after I install shadowsocks, a SOCKv5 based proxy program(installed by the command apt-get install). I removed the program by the kali live version and the problem disappered. I don't know where is the key reason, maybe because I set the shadowsocks run with the OS, by write run-command in the /etc/rc.local file.

But I re-install the shadowsocks and set it run with the OS. The problem didn't reproduce. I got confused. If any one could give me any answer. Thanks a lot.

You probably upgraded to linux 4.4 and the problem disappeared due to the new kernel version.
