Hi,
I am getting Machine Check exception due to the following scenario.
I am trying to use ramdisk for the file system with physical memory from
0x40000000 (instead of the regular 0x00000000). Of course this starts
the run_init_process with ramdisk_execute_command ("/init"). This
eventually calls load_elf_binary -> padzero -> __clear_user(addr, size).
This addr value for __clear_user came in as 0x101b2f98, accessing which
I got the exception.
Now my question is, why am I getting 0x101b2f98. I tried to do some
research and found that this is coming from elf_phdata->p_vaddr
(0x10000000) from routine load_elf_binary. This just kernel_read's from
file pointer of "/init", which I don't completely understand. Shouldn't
this value be greater than 0xc0000000. Where is this value coming from?
Also I don't understand how this would work even in regular memory
systems starting at 0x00000000, as MMU is enabled and mapped to
0xc0000000.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
Siva
