Seems, interrupts are not being re-enabled after a considerable amount of time.
BTW, I'd suggest you to refrain from posting internal organizational
details such
as the NODENAME above, in the public mailing lists.

Hi Amit/Tobias,

I have understood that

for x86_64 architecture and linux as operating system , GCC as compiler , the calling convention to be followed is AMD64 ABI.
right?

My doubt is :-
1) Is the above statement true only for stack frames function call etc ?
OR
Is the above statement true for other things related to architecture,
like for knowing data type sizes, endianness, alignment ..

as http://www.uclibc.org/docs/psABI-x86_64.pdf, mentions , data type size alignment etc everything ...
are these things same for AMD and x86 architecture both ???

2)Depending on data type, this above doc defines classes in which a specific data type lie ..
classes like INTEGER, MEMORY , SSE, SSEUP etc ..
are same things applicable in my infrastructure too
OR
they are specific to AMD architecture... if so then whats followed on x86_64 ..

3) is everything in this doc applicable to x86_64 or just a portion of it can be followed
for x86_64 ?



Thanks
Nidhi
