Hi, Christophe
I am sorry that we are in some troubles for some unpredictable problems
when we replay and haven't given you a quick reply.
I also want to ask does the phenomeon(use memcpy_toio when copy
ioremap_address) only occurs in powerpc ? does any other
arch also has the same problem ? we are in persuit of asking why this
phenomenon happened. Our linux kernel version is 4.4.
It's not a problem ... it's a feature.
I have no idea whether the same kind of issue can happen on other
arches, sorry.
Christophe
thanks very much.

Hi,
Did you try ? Does it work ?

Hi,Christophe
Thank you for your quick reply. I will try to use memcpy_toio() instead of
memcpy().

Hi,

Hi,
I encountered a problem about a loop nesting occurred in
manufacturing the alignment exception in machine check, trigger background is :
problem:
machine checkout or critical interrupt ->…->kbox_write[for recording
last words] -> memcpy(irremap_addr, src,size):_GLOBAL(memcpy)…
when we enter memcpy,a command ‘dcbz r11,r6’ will cause a alignment
exception, in this situation,r11 loads the ioremap address,which
leads to the alignment exception,
You can't use memcpy() on something else than memory.
For an ioremapped area, you have to use memcpy_toio()
Christophe
then the command can not be process successfully,as we still in
machine check.at the end ,it triggers a new irq machine check in irq
handler function,a loop nesting begins.
analysis:
We have analysed a lot,but it still can not come to a reasonable
description,in common,the alignment triggered in machine check
context can still be collected into the Kbox
after alignment exception be handled by handler function, but how
does the machine checkout can be triggered in the handler fucntion
for any causes? We print relevant registers
as follow when first enter machine check and alignment exception
handler
function:
MSR:0x2 MSR:0x0
SRR1:0x2 SRR1:0x21002
But the manual says SRR1 should be set to MSR(0x2),why
that happened ?
Then a branch in handler function copy the SRR1 to
MSR,this enble MSR[ME] and MSR[CE],system collapses.
Conclusion:
1) why the alignment exception can not be handled in
machine check ?
2) besides memcpy,any other function can cause the
alignment exception ?
We still recurrent it, the line as follows:
Cpu dead lock->watch log->trigger
fiq->kbox_write->memcpy->alignment exception->print last words.
but for those problems as below,what the kbox printed is empty.
------------------kbox restart:[ 10.147594]----------------
kbox verify fs magic fail
kbox mem mabye destroyed, format it
kbox: load OK
lock-task: major[249] minor[0]
