No, it's a sparc64 issue. Another problem I ran into are the huge static table sizes lockdep uses. They really need to be either made smaller or dynamically allocated. Sparc64 has hard limitations on kernel size (due to firmware and bootloader issues) and I hit these limits if I am not careful on SMP with lockdep enabled. Andi Kleen and I discussed in a thread several weeks ago. I believe Andi even came up with a suggested direction to fix this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
