Subject: 4xx tlbmiss renables interrupts while in kgdb
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 16:37:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3AD78DB3.6077A539@routefree.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 399 bytes --]
The 4xx tlbmiss handler reenables interrupts while handling a page
fault. Sometimes kgdb generates faults (that are ignored) while
grubbing around in memory for backtraces and such and has the side
effect of leaving interrupts enabled. Makes debugging drivers more
entertaining.
Here is a small, but not particularly elegant patch to fix it (against
the mvista 010216 release for the 405).
