No output... fc23 has qemu-2.4.1, so this commit is missing:
ad440b4 spapr: add dumpdtb support
So I've recompiled master (PPC970MP is not as fast as POWER8...), and:
memory@0000000010000000 {
ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
reg = <0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
device_type = "memory";
};
memory@0000000008000000 {
ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
reg = <0x0 0x8000000 0x0 0x8000000>;
device_type = "memory";
};
memory@0000000000000000 {
ibm,associativity = <0x4 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x8000000>;
device_type = "memory";
};
But master doesn't have the "assert()", it hangs, and in kernel logs:
[ 438.503410] kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed (00000000)
[ 438.503412] Couldn't emulate instruction 0x00000000 (op 0 xop 0)
