question on PPC64 relocatable kernel

Hi, I am researching PPC64 code and try to come up a design for relocatable kernel for ppc32. I noticed that the current ppc64 implementation only changes all the entries in RELA table to add the offset from compile load address to relocated address, but not for GOT table. Does GOT entry need t

[PATCH] Stop pci_set_dma_mask() from failing when RAM doesn't exceed the mask anyway

On an iMac G5, the b43 driver is failing to initialise because trying to set the dma mask to 30-bit fails. Even though there's only 512MiB of RAM in the machine anyway: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514787 We should probably let it succeed if the available RAM in the system d

Re: can the kernel show user task stack backtrace ?

Thanks for the answers! libSegFault.so seems to do what I want. I'll replace sysctl -w kernel.print-fatal-signals=1 with export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libSegFault.so since it better suits my needs. ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org
