Okay, so from the "make kmap cache coloring aware" thread, I've been playing with larger PAGE_SIZE values on the Octane and O2 for the last few hours. 16k and 64k used to, in the past, never get far after init (usually died *at* init) That appears to have changed now. Most programs seem to JustWork(), but very randomly, I am getting a signal -4, illegal instruction (SIGILL) on the Octane. Both systems are running kernels w/ 64k PAGE_SIZE at the moment. I cannot reproduce it on demand, so I'm not really sure what the cause could be. PAGE_SIZE should be largely transparent to userland these days, so I am wondering if this might be more oddities w/ an R14000 CPU.
