machdep.hlt_cpus not safe with ULE?

2011-02-19 Thread Steven Hartland
I'm trying to debug a possibly failing CPU, so I thought it would be easy just disable the cores using machdep.hlt_cpus and see if we see the panic's we've been seeing. The problem is it seems ULE doesnt properly support machdep.hlt_cpus and still schedules processes onto the halted cpus which ob

This may be totally unrelated to bge, investigating a potential failing stick of ram in the machine in question so until we've ruled this out as the cause don't want to waste anyone's time. I did however notice the logic between the two fixes for DMA on 5704's on PCIX in svn differ so wondering w

For reference I've found that an alternative is to set the following in loader.conf:- hint.lapic.2.disabled=1 hint.lapic.3.disabled=1 2 and 3 here are the apic numbers displayed by dmesg on boot for the cpu's Obviously this requires a reboot so no perfect for all uses but it does work for what w
