Hi, In the recent fix to include/asm-ia64/pgtable.,h, the coode now sign-extends the top of the pgdindex into the reserved region.
Are you sure this is correct? Mosberger+Eranian says that these bits must be zero: page 159, end of first paragraph, `What is unusual is that the global-directory index is split into a 7-bit low part (pgdi) and a 3 bit high part (pgdh) that covers bits 22 to 39 and 61 to 63 respectively. Bits 40 to 60 are unused and must be 0.' (Of course the bit numbers here are for 8k pages, and have to be adjusted). -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au The technical we do immediately, the political takes *forever* - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
