From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: To: Paul Mackerras From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 10:00:55 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [POWERPC] Fix bogus paca->_current initialization Message-Id: <20080507000236.1CD33DDE19@ozlabs.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , When doing lockdep, I had two patches to initialize paca->_current early. One bogus, and one correct. Unfortunately both got merged as the bad one ended up being part of the main lockdep patch by mistake. This causes memory corruption at boot. This patch removes the offending code.
