What we see is that BAT0 is not used in the origin. I have always wondered
the reason, maybe there is something odd behind and BAT0 shall no ne used.
Could you try and modify find_free_bat() so that it starts at b = 1 instead
of b = 0 ?
In this case, setbat is called with index 2, 3, and 4, but the Wii still
doesn't boot.
According to arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/32/hash.h,
- 0x591 = _PAGE_RW | _PAGE_ACCESSED | _PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_COHERENT |
_PAGE_PRESENT
- 0x311 = _PAGE_EXEC | _PAGE_ACCESSED | _PAGE_COHERENT | _PAGE_PRESENT
- 0x791 = _PAGE_RW | _PAGE_EXEC | _PAGE_ACCESSED | _PAGE_DIRTY |
_PAGE_COHERENT | _PAGE_PRESENT
Yes, patch 1 added _PAGE_EXEC which explains this 0x200.
Do you confirm it still works well with only patch 1 ?
Patch 1 alone boots to userspace.
Ok, thanks for testing.
The only difference I see then are the flags. Everything else is seems
identical.
I know you tried already, but would you mind trying once more with the
following change ?

I think we may have some code trying to modify the kernel text without
using code patching functions.
Thanks,
