Hi David,
thanks for your response.
I check and found that kernel is booting with 16KB page size with
ramdisk booting. But when I change to 64KB it give me
: applet not found
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
so I check and found that it is not able to execute well the system
call in kernel_execve function.
I am using codesourcercy toolchain(4.3.1). So is there a way to debug
this problem or how to debug below function.
int kernel_execve(const char *filename, char *const argv[], char *const envp[])
{
register unsigned long __a0 asm("$4") = (unsigned long) filename;
register unsigned long __a1 asm("$5") = (unsigned long) argv;
register unsigned long __a2 asm("$6") = (unsigned long) envp;
register unsigned long __a3 asm("$7");
unsigned long __v0;
__asm__ volatile (" \n"
" .set noreorder \n"
" li $2, %5 # __NR_execve \n"
" syscall \n"
" move %0, $2 \n"
" .set reorder \n"
: "=&r" (__v0), "=r" (__a3)
: "r" (__a0), "r" (__a1), "r" (__a2), "i" (__NR_execve)
: "$2", "$8", "$9", "$10", "$11", "$12", "$13", "$14", "$15", "$24",
"memory");
if (__a3 == 0)
return __v0;
return -__v0;
}
