BDI2000 PTEs

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

 Thanks a lot, Dan,

It is working now.

The only thing you omitted is allocation of abatro_pteptrs variable.
In same file following has to be added as well:

After lines
cmd_line:
    .space 512

Add following:

/* Room for two PTE table poiners, usually the kernel and current user
 * pointer to their respective root page table (pgdir).
 */
abatron_pteptrs:
        .space  8

Ummm....I think you need more than that for debugging loadable modules.
The BAT translation won't work for loadable modules, you have to find
all of their code and data through page tables.

Well hell....I wonder why they were never updated in 2.4.14.  Take
a look at the PowerPC development kernels, then.

Add this right after the 'bl load_up_mmu':


        /* Add helper information for the Abatron bdiGDB debugger.
         * We do this here because we know the mmu is disabled, and
         * will be enabled for real in just a few instructions.
         */
        lis     r5, abatron_pteptrs at h
        ori     r5, r5, abatron_pteptrs at l
        stw     r5, 0xf0(r0)    /* This much match your Abatron config
*/
        lis     r6, swapper_pg_dir at h
        ori     r6, r6, swapper_pg_dir at l
        tophys(r5, r5)
        stw     r6, 0(r5)


Good Luck.
