If I add a couple of printks to the latter part of start_secondary
on 2.4.10, and I enable serial console, I get a garbled panic.
This worked fine on 2.4.9 - can anyone give me any idea why
it broke on 2.4.10?
This is error is on a normal SMP box, not just a NUMA system
with wierd patches ;-)
(I need the printks for some arcane and disgusting reasons.
Without them, the multiquad NUMA machines die with an
undiagnosable BINT error - I have no idea why ... maybe
the console_lock serialises some action of the procs?)
Thanks,
Martin.
The patch
========
int __init start_secondary(void *unused)
{
/*
* Dont put anything before smp_callin(), SMP
* booting is too fragile that we want to limit the
* things done here to the most necessary things.
*/
cpu_init();
smp_callin();
while (!atomic_read(&smp_commenced))
rep_nop();
/*
* low-memory mappings have been cleared, flush them from
* the local TLBs too.
*/
+ printk("Before tlbflush - processor: \n");
local_flush_tlb();
+ printk("After tlbflush - processor: \n");
return cpu_idle();
}
