Subject: Machine check - D-Cache search parity error occurs on a ppc440 core
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 18:49:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c3d0340b0508311849654fcdad@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

When the kernel starts /sbin/init, a machine check occurs showing it's
a d-cache search parity error. The CPU is a ppc440 core.

What usually causes this kind of exception? The user's manual of 440
core lists three possible situation where such an exception will
occur.
1) Multi-hit parity error on any instr that does a CAM lookup
2) Tag or data parity errors on load instr
3) Tag parity erros on dcbf, dcbi, dcbst instr

Both 1) and 3) are excluded in this case because the internal cpu core
signals show dcrTagEvenSearchParityError is set. Why did this error
happen? It's a cpu bug?

Anyone has seen this error before? Please share your experience.
