Hi,
I am trying to do process migration between nodes using alpha
architecture. For explaining what is happening I will take the process
getting migrated from node1 to node2. I am using struct pt_regs for
rebuilding the process on node2.I am getting the same value of struct
pt_regs on node1 and on node2 ( I print is using dik_show_regs) Now I
want to set the value of registers including the program counter with
the value i got from node1. Right now I am doing
ret_from_sys_call(®s). But then i am getting a Oops . The Oops
message contain all the register values same as that I got from node1
except pc and ra
Any idea where I went wrong ?

One thing I thought of is the process on lets say node2 have exactly the same
address space as on node 1 when it is migrated. You could be trying to return from a syscall
to an address space of a process that doesn't exist on the node or hasn't migrated yet.
Just a thought

Hi,
No, I have the full address space rebuilt on node2. I validated it
checking /proc/<pid>/maps

Err, ret_from_sys_call is not a function that can be called in
any normal method. Supposing that you get there, the stack
must be set up properly, and the stack is whence the register
values are fetched.
