Subject: [Linux-ia64] INIT switch handler
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 15:54:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590678204984@msgid-missing> (raw)
The init handler in arch/ia64/kernel/mca.c doesn't do anything yet. Does
anyone have plans for what such a handler should or will do on Linux?
When the init switch is pressed, it causes a reset of the processor(s). The
purpose of the init
switch on Lion is the same as the NMI switch on the IA-32 platforms. The
OS will have to write a handler that will check and see that the init
switch has been pressed and dump the state of the processor and the state
of the system.
Thanks,
