This patch update ppc32 vtop.
- Translate kvaddr for fsl-booke by using TLBCAM setting
- Remove PMD from display because virtual address bit is not assigned
- Fixup displayed PHYSICAL values of fsl-booke PTE format
- Fixup bug for page flags setup which I made previous patch
Updated command images are below.
- kvaddr can be translated by using TLBCAM

Is there any constraint in "rd" or is my "/dev/mem" something wrong?
Yeah, it sounds like the /dev/mem "high_memory" constraint for 32-bit
architectures. At the top of the kernel's read_mem() function, it calls
valid_phys_addr_range():
static ssize_t read_mem(struct file *file, char __user *buf,
size_t count, loff_t *ppos)
{
unsigned long p = *ppos;
ssize_t read, sz;
char *ptr;
if (!valid_phys_addr_range(p, count))
return -EFAULT;
...
which restricts physical memory access above "high_memory":
static inline int valid_phys_addr_range(unsigned long addr, size_t count)
{
return addr + count <= __pa(high_memory);
}
On a 32-bit machine (at least on x86), high_memory is going to be no higher
than (1GB-128MB) or 896MB, because it needs the upper 128MB of kernel
virtual address space for vmalloc() and FIXMAP-type addresses.
You might try using /proc/kcore instead of /dev/mem, although I can't
recall if there would be other issues using it on a 32-bit architecture.
Enter "crash /proc/kcore" and see what happens...
Or try building the crash utility's "memory driver" kernel module that
comes with the crash sources:
$ tar xvzmf crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
...
$ cd crash-6.0.4/memory_driver
$ make
...
$ insmod crash.ko
Then, when invoking the crash utility on the live system, it will check
for the existence of the crash.ko module and use it instead of /dev/mem.
It does not have the high_memory restriction.

Toshi,
Your updates for the PPC vtop command are queued for crash-6.0.5.
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for explanation, I don't have to worry about it now.
You might try using /proc/kcore instead of /dev/mem, although I
can't
recall if there would be other issues using it on a 32-bit architecture.
Enter "crash /proc/kcore" and see what happens...

comes with the crash sources:
$ tar xvzmf crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
...
$ cd crash-6.0.4/memory_driver
$ make
...
$ insmod crash.ko
I tried both ways according to your advises, results are different.
A "memory driver" way definitely got my solution.
