Dear all,

We are running linux kernel 2.6.35.11 on Cortex a-8. when I run a
simple program expect to give oom.
?But it crash with following crash log

It looks like a problem with the memory configuration on your board.
You have sparsemem sections which are not fully populated. The
mainline kernel still has problems in this area.

You can try this patch (not sure it applies cleanly on 2.6.35 but it's
not difficult to fix):

You need to include the memory layout information - eg, the boot log,
and /proc/iomem.  Also are you using sparsemem?  If so, how is it
configured?
