Hi, reading translation registers from /proc/pal/cpu0/tr_info gives a page size for the kernel stack (dtr 2) of 8k (2.4.25 kernel). Wondering and looking through the whole linux kernel results in two things: First it seems that PAL reports wrong page sizes since dtr 0 reports a 16k page what is definitely wrong and second the kernel never ever inserts a 8k page for the kernel stack instead uses the configurable granule size. My machine is a ZX6000 900 MHZ Itanium2. May anybody having the same machine and maybe a newer one (1.3 GHz, ...) confirm that bug? Is there an update for PAL code? My PAL version is PAL_vendor : 0xff (min=0xff) PAL_A : 6.6.23 (min=6.6.23) PAL_B : 8.8.30 (min=7.6.0) Christian - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Thu Sep 16 08:50:27 2004
