Hi,
Who passes the address to do_page_fault() in arch/ppc/mm/fault.c ?
I know that its in the DAR register for ppc ( cr2 in x86) but who puts
it there?
My question will be sane if you read the problem im facing ...
I'm using a test prog which just calls malloc().
For debugging purpose i've put the foll in arch/ppc/mm/fault.c :
printk("\nerror : vm_start = 0x%08x vm_end = 0x%08x
Address = 0x%08x\n ",vma->vm_start,vma->vm_end,address);
Now when i run the test program i get the foll :
vm_start = 0x10011000 vm_end = 0x10219000 Address = 0x101e9000
vm_start = 0x10011000 vm_end = 0x10219000 Address = 0x101ea000
vm_start = 0x10011000 vm_end = 0x10219000 Address = 0x101eb000
vm_start = 0x10000000 vm_end = 0x10001000 Address = 0x00000024
Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11
< ... more dump ....>
Where does the address 0x00000024 comes from??
Is this a cache/tlb problem?
Thanks in advance.
