It's very simple... if we use inw instead of readw for the faulting I/O access, then the machine check gets trapped. We can do this because on PPC, PCI I/O is actually memory-mapped. The CPU doesn't have a separate I/O space and instructions. So we just compensate for the address at which PCI I/O is mapped, and abuse inw(). Then we make bcm43xx_phy_read() print the register it tried to access whenever it gets 0xFFFF, and stick a WARN_ON(1) in the machine check handler when it detects a machine check caused by an I/O access... --- ../linux-2.6.20.ppc64/./drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c 2007-04-14 21:51:02.000000000 +0100 +++ ./drivers/net/wireless/mac80211/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c 2007-04-16 01:39:44.000000000 +0100 @@ -269,10 +270,13 @@ static inline u16 adjust_phyreg_for_phyt u16 bcm43xx_phy_read(struct bcm43xx_wldev *dev, u16 offset) { struct bcm43xx_phy *phy = &dev->phy; - + uint16_t foo; offset = adjust_phyreg_for_phytype(phy, offset); bcm43xx_write16(dev, BCM43xx_MMIO_PHY_CONTROL, offset); - return bcm43xx_read16(dev, BCM43xx_MMIO_PHY_DATA); + foo = bcm43xx_read16(dev, BCM43xx_MMIO_PHY_DATA); + if (foo == 0xffff) + printk(KERN_DEBUG "Read phy reg %x; got 0xFFFF.\n", offset); + return foo; } void bcm43xx_phy_write(struct bcm43xx_wldev *dev, u16 offset, u16 val) --- ../linux-2.6.20.ppc64/./drivers/ssb/pci.c 2007-04-14 21:51:02.000000000 +0100 +++ ./drivers/ssb/pci.c 2007-04-15 23:44:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -475,6 +475,7 @@ static u16 ssb_pci_read16(struct ssb_dev if (unlikely(ssb_pci_switch_core(bus, dev))) return 0xFFFF; } + return inw(bus->mmio + offset - isa_io_base); return readw(bus->mmio + offset); } --- ../linux-2.6.20.ppc64/./arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c 2007-04-14 21:50:40.000000000 +0100 +++ ./arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c 2007-04-15 23:45:48.000000000 +0100 @@ -343,8 +343,10 @@ void machine_check_exception(struct pt_r return; } - if (check_io_access(regs)) + if (check_io_access(regs)) { + WARN_ON(1); return; + } #if defined(CONFIG_4xx) && !defined(CONFIG_440A) if (reason & ESR_IMCP) { -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
