This patch fixes the vmalloc address translation for BookE.This patch is based on the PPC44x definitions and may not work fine for other systems. crash> mod mod: cannot access vmalloc'd module memory crash> After the patch : crash> mod MODULE NAME SIZE OBJECT FILE d1018fd8 mbcache 6023 (not loaded) [CONFIG_KALLSYMS] d1077190 jbd 58360 (not loaded) [CONFIG_KALLSYMS] d107ca98 llc 4525 (not loaded) [CONFIG_KALLSYMS] d1130de4 ext3 203186 (not loaded) [CONFIG_KALLSYMS] d114bbac squashfs 26129 (not loaded) [CONFIG_KALLSYMS] On ppc44x, the virtual-address is split as below : Bits |0 10|11 19|20 31| ----------------------------------- | PGD | PMD | PAGE_OFFSET | ----------------------------------- The PAGE_BASE_ADDR is a 64bit value(of type phys_addr_t). Note : I am not sure how do we distinguish the different values (PGDIR_SHIFT etc) for different PPC32 systems. Since there are a lot of different platforms under PPC32, we need some mechanism to dynamically determine the PGDIR, PTE shift values. One option is to put the information in the VMCOREINFO. Or we should hard code these values for each platform and compile a crash for a particular platform. Thoughts ? Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.
