Hey, 2.6.26-rc2 with fixed vmlinux.lds netboots and with NFS root seems to mostly work. But it did seem to deadlock. From the TOC (PIM) dump, looks like a lock didn't get unlocked and both CPUs where spinning trying to acquire that lock: CPU0 IP : 0x4011a23c _spin_lock+14 CPU0 GR02: 0x4011cb6c flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr+34 CPU1 IP : 0x4011a23c _spin_lock+14 CPU1 GR02: 0x4011cabc __flush_tlb_range+74 flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr() is pretty short: void flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr(void *addr) { flush_kernel_dcache_page_asm(addr); purge_tlb_start(); pdtlb_kernel(addr); purge_tlb_end(); } Since I just updated my tree to 2.6.26-rc3, I'll use the asm from that: ... 20: 2b 60 00 00 addil L%0,dp,r1 20: R_PARISC_DLTIND21L pa_tlb_lock 24: 50 3a 00 00 ldd 0(r1),r26 24: R_PARISC_DLTIND14R pa_tlb_lock 28: 37 dd 3f a1 ldo -30(sp),ret1 2c: e8 00 a0 00 b,l 34 <flush_kernel_dcache_page_addr+0x34>,rp 2c: R_PARISC_PCREL22F _spin_lock 30: 08 1b 02 44 copy dp,r4 34: 08 04 02 5b copy r4,dp 38: 04 a0 12 00 pdtlb r0(r5) 3c: 34 1c 00 02 ldi 1,ret0 ... So while the offset looks wrong, __flush_tlb_range has a similar construct: 5c: 2b 60 00 00 addil L%0,dp,r1 5c: R_PARISC_DLTIND21L pa_tlb_lock 60: 08 1b 02 44 copy dp,r4 64: 50 26 00 00 ldd 0(r1),r6 64: R_PARISC_DLTIND14R pa_tlb_lock 68: 37 dd 3f a1 ldo -30(sp),ret1 6c: e8 00 a0 00 b,l 74 <__flush_tlb_range+0x74>,rp 6c: R_PARISC_PCREL22F _spin_lock 70: 08 06 02 5a copy r6,r26 74: 08 04 02 5b copy r4,dp 78: 2b 60 00 00 addil L%0,dp,r1 78: R_PARISC_DLTIND21L split_tlb 7c: 50 3c 00 00 ldd 0(r1),ret0 7c: R_PARISC_DLTIND14R split_tlb 80: 0f 80 10 9f ldw 0(ret0),r31 84: 87 e0 20 72 cmpib,=,n 0,r31,c4 <__flush_tlb_range+0xc4> 88: 9c a0 20 28 cmpb,*= r0,r5,a4 <__flush_tlb_range+0xa4> So I'm pretty sure, whatever is wrong, it's got something to do with pa_tlb_lock. Rebuilding now with gcc-4.2 (instead of gcc-4.3) and retesting with 2.6.26-rc3. hth, grant -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
