From 06f95ea8988513b172080c419e4be8826c55a318 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Chiang Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:25:33 -0600 Subject: [IA64] Ski simulator doesn't need check_sal_cache_flush Peter Chubb reported that commit 3463a93def55c309f3c0d0a8aaf216be3be42d64 (Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()) broke Ski because it does not implement IPIs. Tony Luck suggested we just #ifndef out the call (since the simulator does not have the SAL bug that this code is attempting to detect and workaround) Signed-off-by: Alex Chiang Signed-off-by: Tony Luck --- arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c b/arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c index c27d5b2c182b..de636b215677 100644 --- a/arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c +++ b/arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c @@ -616,7 +616,9 @@ setup_arch (char **cmdline_p) ia64_mca_init(); platform_setup(cmdline_p); +#ifndef CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM check_sal_cache_flush(); +#endif paging_init(); } -- cgit v1.2.2 From d3758f87f39c5b072dde74c55bfb988262a3a45c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Lan Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:21:19 -0700 Subject: [IA64] kexec fails on systems with blocks of uncached memory Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute (EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same. The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal "cached" access may cause MCAs. This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as "Uncached RAM" so that kexec would know not to include it in the vmcore. I will submit a separate kexec-tools patch to the kexec list.
