Subject: MCA/INIT: need to wire CURRENT_STACK?
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 01:12:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <16451.1127265127@ocs3.ocs.com.au> (raw)
I put this comment in arch/ia64/kernel/mca_asm.S, where we switch to
the MCA/INIT stack. The code runs fine without wiring
IA64_KR_CURRENT_STACK and IA64_TR_CURRENT_STACK. Is that coincidence
or do the extra registers really need to be updated? The MCA/INIT
stacks are initialized early in boot, they are in region 7.
Remember that the MCA/INIT handlers run with interrupts disabled.
ia64_set_kernel_registers:
add temp3=MCA_SP_OFFSET, r3
add temp4=MCA_SOS_OFFSET+IA64_SAL_OS_STATE_OS_GP_OFFSET, r3
mov b0=r2 // save return address
GET_IA64_MCA_DATA(temp1)
;;
add temp4=temp4, temp1 // &struct ia64_sal_os_state.os_gp
add r12=temp1, temp3 // kernel stack pointer on MCA/INIT stack
add r13=temp1, r3 // set current to start of MCA/INIT stack
;;
ld8 r1=[temp4] // OS GP from SAL OS state
;;
DATA_PA_TO_VA(r1,temp1)
DATA_PA_TO_VA(r12,temp2)
DATA_PA_TO_VA(r13,temp3)
;;
mov IA64_KR(CURRENT)=r13
// FIXME: do I need to wire IA64_KR_CURRENT_STACK and IA64_TR_CURRENT_STACK?
