DBE table ordering

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



search_one_table() in arch/mips/kernel/traps.c does a binary search for the
erring instruction address in the DBE table. What guarantee is there that
the table is in order by instruction address? It looks like the code hasn't
changed in a long time and it has worked for me since at least 2.4.3.
However, a top of tree (2.5.1) kernel crashes on me as soon as a get_dbe()
fails, because the table is out of order at link time---possibly run time if
there's some code that I missed that is reordering the table at __init. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance,
