This change prints the hexadecimal EC value in mem_abort_decode(), which makes it easier to lookup the corresponding EC in the ARM Architecture Reference Manual.
The commit 1f9b8936f36f ("arm64: Decode information from ESR upon mem faults") prints useful information when memory abort occurs. It would be easier to lookup "0x25" instead of "DABT" in the document. Then we can check the corresponding ISS. For example: Current info Document EC Exception class "CP15 MCR/MRC" 0x3 "MCR or MRC access to CP15a..." "ASIMD" 0x7 "Access to SIMD or floating-point..." "DABT (current EL)" 0x25 "Data Abort taken without..." ... Before: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000000000000c000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000046 Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000046 CM = 0, WnR = 1 After: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000000000000c000 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000046 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000046 CM = 0, WnR = 1 Change since v1: print "EC" instead of "Exception class" print EC in fixwidth Change since v2: add acked-by tag from Mark since v2 implemented the suggestion in v1 add reviewed-by tag from Anshuman in v2 Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutl...@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khand...@arm.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutl...@arm.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khand...@arm.com> Cc: James Morse <james.mo...@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Miles Chen <miles.c...@mediatek.com> --- arch/arm64/mm/fault.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm64/mm/fault.c b/arch/arm64/mm/fault.c index cfd65b63f36f..ad4980a27edb 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/mm/fault.c +++ b/arch/arm64/mm/fault.c @@ -86,8 +86,8 @@ static void mem_abort_decode(unsigned int esr) pr_alert("Mem abort info:\n"); pr_alert(" ESR = 0x%08x\n", esr); - pr_alert(" Exception class = %s, IL = %u bits\n", - esr_get_class_string(esr), + pr_alert(" EC = 0x%02lx: %s, IL = %u bits\n", + ESR_ELx_EC(esr), esr_get_class_string(esr), (esr & ESR_ELx_IL) ? 32 : 16); pr_alert(" SET = %lu, FnV = %lu\n", (esr & ESR_ELx_SET_MASK) >> ESR_ELx_SET_SHIFT, -- 2.18.0
