Absolute addresses +===================== + +A lot of the assembly code currently runs in real mode, which means +absolute addresses are used instead of virtual addresses as in the +rest of the kernel. To translate an absolute address to a virtual +address you can lookup in System.map, add __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000 +currently). + + +2. HPMCs +======== + +When real-mode code tries to access non-existent memory, you'll get +an HPMC instead of a kernel oops. To debug an HPMC, try to find +the System Responder/Requestor addresses. The System Requestor +address should match (one of the) processor HPAs (high addresses in +the I/O range); the System Responder address is the address real-mode +code tried to access. + +Typical values for the System Responder address are addresses larger +than __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000) which mean a virtual address didn't +get translated to a physical address before real-mode code tried to +access it. + + +3. Q bit fun +============ + +Certain, very critical code has to clear the Q bit in the PSW. What +happens when the Q bit is cleared is the CPU does not update the +registers interruption handlers read to find out where the machine +was interrupted - so if you get an interruption between the instruction +that clears the Q bit and the RFI that sets it again you don't know +where exactly it happened. If you're lucky the IAOQ will point to the +instruction that cleared the Q bit, if you're not it points anywhere +at all. Usually Q bit problems will show themselves in unexplainable +system hangs or running off the end of physical memory. diff --git a/Documentation/parisc/features.rst b/Documentation/parisc/features.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..501d7c450 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/parisc/features.rst @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +..

And of +course, you need to save them if you care about them, before calling +another procedure. Some of the above registers do have special meanings +that you should be aware of: + + r1: + The addil instruction is hardwired to place its result in r1, + so if you use that instruction be aware of that. + + r2: + This is the return pointer. In general you don't want to + use this, since you need the pointer to get back to your + caller. However, it is grouped with this set of registers + since the caller can't rely on the value being the same + when you return, i.e. you can copy r2 to another register + and return through that register after trashing r2, and + that should not cause a problem for the calling routine. + + r19-r22: + these are generally regarded as temporary registers. + Note that in 64 bit they are arg7-arg4. + + r23-r26: + these are arg3-arg0, i.e. you can use them if you + don't care about the values that were passed in anymore. + + r28,r29: + are ret0 and ret1. They are what you pass return values + in. r28 is the primary return. When returning small structures + r29 may also be used to pass data back to the caller. + + r30: + stack pointer + + r31: + the ble instruction puts the return pointer in here. + + + r3-r18,r27,r30 need to be saved and restored. r3-r18 are just + general purpose registers. r27 is the data pointer, and is + used to make references to global variables easier. r30 is + the stack pointer. |
