Hi all, The Debian kernel recently enabled the PAGE_EXTENSION and PAGE_POISONING options. Unfortunately this causes a kernel crash very early during the boot on Loongson 3 machines: [ 0.941596] pci 0000:00:13.2: Device 1002:4396, irq 6 [ 0.946664] pci 0000:00:14.1: Device 1002:439c, irq 0 [ 0.951730] pci 0000:00:14.2: Device 1002:4383, irq 5 [ 0.956796] pci 0000:00:14.5: Device 1002:4399, irq 6 [ 0.961843] pci 0000:01:05.0: Device 1002:9615, irq 6 [ 0.966907] pci 0000:07:00.0: Device 10ec:8168, irq 5 [ 0.973196] clocksource: Switched to clocksource MIPS [ 0.997909] Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]: [ 1.002567] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.9.0-0.bpo.2-loongson-3 #1 Debian 4.9.18-1~bpo8+1 [ 1.012074] task: 980000027e1c2ba0 task.stack: 980000027e154000 [ 1.018005] $ 0 : 0000000000000000 ffffffff802082e4 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 1.026032] $ 4 : 0000000000000002 ffffffff80431288 0000000000000000 8e75000000000016 [ 1.034061] $ 8 : ffffffffffffffff ffffffff809837fe 0000000000000001 78616d5f79746972 [ 1.042090] $12 : 980000027e157a28 000000001000001e 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 1.050119] $16 : 980000027e157a30 ffffffff80431284 ffffffff80a20000 0000000000000000 [ 1.058148] $20 : ffffffff8e020018 8e75000000000016 ffffffff80431258 ffffffff80b56ee8 [ 1.066177] $24 : 0000000000000020 0000000000000000 [ 1.074206] $28 : 980000027e154000 980000027e1579d0 ffffffff80a80000 ffffffff802082e4 [ 1.082236] Hi : 0000000000000004 [ 1.085814] Lo : ccccccccccccccd1 [ 1.089406] epc : ffffffff80212300 do_ade+0x220/0x900 [ 1.094637] ra : ffffffff802082e4 resume_userspace_check+0x0/0x10 [ 1.100999] Status: 9400cce3 KX SX UX KERNEL EXL IE [ 1.105975] Cause : 00000010 (ExcCode 04) [ 1.109988] BadVA : 8e75000000000019 [ 1.113568] PrId : 00006305 (ICT Loongson-3) [ 1.117930] Modules linked in: [ 1.120988] Process swapper/0 (pid: 1, threadinfo=980000027e154000, task=980000027e1c2ba0, tls=0000000000000000) [ 1.131196] Stack : 0000000000000000 0000000000040912 00000000024040d0 8e74fffffffffffe [ 1.139224] ffffffffd6eb8e8c 980000027e157c18 980000027c0f9440 980000027c0f9440 [ 1.147253] 0000000000000000 ffffffff80a5ec30 ffffffff80b56ee8 ffffffff802082e4 [ 1.155282] 0000000000000000 ffffffff80431258 fffffffffffffffe 980000027e1c2ba0 [ 1.163311] 980000027c0f9440 980000027e157c18 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 1.171340] ffffffffffffffff ffffffff809837fe 0000000000000001 78616d5f79746972 [ 1.179369] 0000000000000000 ffffffff80581584 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 1.187398] 8e74fffffffffffe ffffffffd6eb8e8c 980000027e157c18 980000027c0f9440 [ 1.195427] 980000027c0f9440 0000000000000000 ffffffff80a5ec30 ffffffff80b56ee8 [ 1.203457] 0000000000000020 0000000000000000 000000000000001d 0000000000400000 [ 1.211486] ...
