I'm finding that recently kexec'ed kernels on PS3 will panic on startup. It seems the trouble was introduced with the ppc64 SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP support. The problem is the same when starting either new or old kernels: 2.6.24 -> 2.6.23 ok 2.6.24 -> 2.6.23 panic 2.6.24 -> 2.6.24 panic These are the commits that seem to introduce the problem: d29eff7bca60c9ee401d691d4562a4abca8de543 ppc64: SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP suppor 8f6aac419bd590f535fb110875a51f7db2b62b5b Generic Virtual Memmap support for SPARSEMEM Below is a startup dump. Any help in finding the problem would be appreciated. -Geoff ps3_mm_add_memory:317: start_addr 740320000000h, start_pfn 740320000h, nr_pages 17000h <4>swapper: page allocation failure. order:12, mode:0x80d0 Call Trace: [c000000006047820] [c00000000000e700] .show_stack+0x68/0x1b0 (unreliable) [c0000000060478c0] [c000000000089eb4] .__alloc_pages+0x358/0x3ac [c0000000060479b0] [c0000000000a3964] .vmemmap_alloc_block+0x6c/0xf4 [c000000006047a40] [c000000000026544] .vmemmap_populate+0x74/0x100 [c000000006047ae0] [c0000000000a385c] .sparse_mem_map_populate+0x38/0x5c [c000000006047b70] [c0000000000a36e4] .sparse_add_one_section+0x64/0x128 [c000000006047c20] [c0000000000aa74c] .__add_pages+0xac/0x18c [c000000006047cd0] [c000000000025fd4] .arch_add_memory+0x44/0x60 [c000000006047d60] [c0000000000aa5b0] .add_memory+0xd4/0x124 [c000000006047e00] [c000000000452544] .ps3_mm_add_memory+0x8c/0x108 [c000000006047ea0] [c0000000004417c4] .kernel_init+0x1f4/0x3b8 [c000000006047f90] [c000000000021d88] .kernel_thread+0x4c/0x68 Mem-info: DMA per-cpu: CPU 0: Hot: hi: 42, btch: 7 usd: 0 Cold: hi: 14, btch: 3 usd: 0 CPU 1: Hot: hi: 42, btch: 7 usd: 0 Cold: hi: 14, btch: 3 usd: 0 Active:0 inactive:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:18094 slab:122 mapped:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0 DMA free:72376kB min:0kB low:0kB high:0kB active:0kB inactive:0kB present:129280kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 DMA: 8*4kB 5*8kB 5*16kB 7*32kB 3*64kB 5*128kB 4*256kB 3*512kB 5*1024kB 3*2048kB 4*4096kB 5*8192kB 0*16384kB = 72376kB Swap cache: add 0, delete 0, find 0/0, race 0+0 Free swap = 0kB Total swap = 0kB Free swap: 0kB 32768 pages of RAM 10403 reserved pages 0 pages shared 0 pages swap cached <1>Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xcf0001960b000010 <1>Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000087340 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=2 PS3 Modules linked in: NIP: c000000000087340 LR: c00000000008733c CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000006047900 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.24-rc3-ps3-linux-dev-g91428d55-dirty) MSR: 8000000000008032 CR: 22004444 XER: 00000000 DAR: cf0001960b000010, DSISR: 0000000042000000 TASK = c000000006041080[1] 'swapper' THREAD: c000000006044000 CPU: 1 <6>GPR00: 0000000000000000 c000000006047b80 c00000000052b410 c000000006001b40 <6>GPR04: 0000000000000001 0000000000000003 0000000000000008 0000000000000000 <6>GPR08: 0000000000000002 cf0001960b000008 c000000006051240 0000000000000003 <6>GPR12: 0000000000000003 c000000000484080 00000000100d0000 0000000000bc5000 <6>GPR16: 0000000007fff000 0000000000000001 00000000100a0000 00000000100d0000 <6>GPR20: 0000000000000000 00000000100df628 00000000100df458 00000000100df678 <6>GPR24: 0000000000740336 c000000000492c00 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 <6>GPR28: 0000000740325000 0000000740324924 c0000000004ce9a8 cf0001960affffe0 NIP [c000000000087340] .memmap_init_zone+0xf0/0x134 LR [c00000000008733c] .memmap_init_zone+0xec/0x134 Call Trace: [c000000006047b80] [c0000000001da530] .add_memory_block+0xd8/0x108 (unreliable) [c000000006047c20] [c0000000000aa7ac] .__add_pages+0x10c/0x18c [c000000006047cd0] [c000000000025fd4] .arch_add_memory+0x44/0x60 [c000000006047d60] [c0000000000aa5b0] .add_memory+0xd4/0x124 [c000000006047e00] [c000000000452544] .ps3_mm_add_memory+0x8c/0x108 [c000000006047ea0] [c0000000004417c4] .kernel_init+0x1f4/0x3b8 [c000000006047f90] [c000000000021d88] .kernel_thread+0x4c/0x68 Instruction dump: 901f000c 38000400 7d20f8a8 7d290378 7d20f9ad 40a2fff4 7ba00521 7fe3fb78 38800002 41820008 4bffff0d 393f0028 f93f0028 3bbd0001 3bff0038 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
