Hi,
in a PPC mpc5125 system we're using xenomai 2.4.x (from git repository)
with kernel 2.6.29
and have applied
ksrc_arch_powerpc_patches_adeos-ipipe-2.6.29.4-powerpc-DENX-2.6-02.patch
We have encountered a problem in a userspace application that makes
heavy use of the FPU.
In specific, our application consists about two concurrent processes:
- the first use FPU in a xenomai_task
- the second use FPU in a normal linux thread
After a random time of test, Kernel crash with the following oops:
Unrecoverable FP Unavailable Exception 801 at c0003888

In relation about mail:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai-core/2010-10/msg00007.html
We commented out local_irq_save_hw_cond(flags).
Kernel doesn't crash but application die with fpu register corrupted.
Does anyone know if xenomai 2.4.x with 2.6.29 kernel series have
problems with heavy FPU usage?
