There was a patch of kexec on SMP mips 64 , and I attempt to implement kexec on SMP powerpc . I found that , it was a little different with mips when booting a kernel. We know that, every CPU jumped directly into kernel on mips, but on powerpc , E500 SMP, the 'master' CPU was in charge of 'slave' CPUs , so 'slave' CPU could do nothing but to wait for 'master' to wake him up in Init function. How to implement kexec on SMP powerpc? Any suggestions would be appreciate regards, wilbur -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
