Subject: [PATCH] [44x][KEXEC] Fix/Initialize PID to kernel PID before the TLB search
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 13:18:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120416074720.1517.90935.stgit@suzukikp.in.ibm.com> (raw)
Initialize the PID register with kernel pid (0) before we start
setting the TLB mapping for KEXEC. Also set the MMUCR[TID] to kernel
PID.
This was spotted while testing the kexec on ISS for 47x. ISS doesn't
return a successful tlbsx for a kernel address with PID set to a user PID.
Though the hardware/qemu/simics work fine.
This patch is harmless and initializes the PID to 0 (kernel PID) which
is usually the case during a normal kernel boot. This would fix the kexec
on ISS for 440. I have tested this patch on sequoia board.
