memset hangs part way through; called from early_init

[Chris Dumoulin]

Hi All,
I'm running a V2Pro-based development board, and I'm working on a linux 2.6.15 port.
Currently, the board hangs in the early_init function. Specifically, at the following line:
memset_io(PTRRELOC(&__bss_start), 0, _end - __bss_start);

This memset_io() call eventually calls memset() (from arch/ppc/lib/string.S) to zero the
region of memory. Using a BDI2000, I'm able to step through the assembly and see that
within memset, it enters a two-instruction loop where it is writing zeros to consecutive
memory locations. Everything is going fine, but after 10 or 20 iterations of the loop
(it's not consistent), everything blows up.

GDB reports the following:
------------------------------
(gdb) stepi

Program received signal SIG110, Real-time event 110.
0xc000b3e8 in memset ()
(gdb)
------------------------------

The BDI2000 reports the following:
------------------------------
