Sorry, I have no insight to that... does unmodified mmiotrace work properly? Are you tracing the exact same kernel binary blob on both machines? Maybe it's using some rare instruction mmiotrace does not decode properly? Maybe with a rep prefix? Do those CPUs have any differences in their registers or struct pt_regs? I'm not even sure how "legal" it is to poke pt_regs there. :-/ Good luck. -- Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/ -- 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
