Some PowerVM firmware when delivering a system reset interrupt to a little endian OS will mess up SRR registers. They are byteswapped, and SRR1 is incorrect. An example from a crash: NIP: 14dd0900000000c0 MSR: 1000000200000080 It's possible to detect this pattern in SRR1 (that would never happen in normal operation), and at least fix the NIP. After this patch, the same interrupt reports NIP properly: NIP [c00000000009dd14] plpar_hcall_norets+0x1c/0x28 Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
