Subject: DBE/IBE handling incompatibility
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2002 13:33:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020617113311.GA839@kopretinka> (raw)
hi,
i'd like to release GIO64 bus support. Before doing so DBE/IBE handling
should be done in the same fashion for both mips and mips64 (*). Currently
mips is using handler in handler via dbe_board_handler and ibe_board_handler
which are not used anywhere while mips64 is using BUILD_HANDLER macro defined
in include/asm-mips64/exception.h (see arch/mips64/sgi-ip27/ip27-dbe-glue.S)
Unfortunately I have nearly zero knowledge of MIPS assembler, so I'm
unable to code mips way same as mips64 is... Help from someone more
experienced will be greatly appreciated :-)
(*) How GIO device detection works? each IP22 machine contains three GIO bus
slots. GIO device provides information about itself in first (three) word(s)
of address space it occupies. The only way how to detect GIO card is
trying to read word from it's base address. If DBE exception is generated
then there is definitely no card present, otherwise read value encodes
information about device.
