Is sparc64 the only one that emits / ratelimits that unaligned access message? I looked a little, but I didn't find a fixup message when MIPS does unaligned accesses. Are all the other arches silent when fixing up unaligned accesses? Maye adding a generic debug only ratelimited message might help remove more of these. As it's not fatal, naybe the sparc64 message should be KERN_DEBUG/pr_debug. --- arch/sparc/kernel/unaligned_64.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/sparc/kernel/unaligned_64.c b/arch/sparc/kernel/unaligned_64.c index 62098a8..6b7aeb7 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/kernel/unaligned_64.c +++ b/arch/sparc/kernel/unaligned_64.c @@ -294,13 +294,9 @@ static void kernel_mna_trap_fault(int fixup_tstate_asi) static void log_unaligned(struct pt_regs *regs) { - static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(ratelimit, 5 * HZ, 5); + pr_debug_ratelimited("Kernel unaligned access at TPC[%lx] %pS\n", + regs->tpc, (void *)regs->tpc); - if (__ratelimit(&ratelimit)) { - printk("Kernel unaligned access at TPC[%lx] %pS\n", - regs->tpc, (void *) regs->tpc); - } -} asmlinkage void kernel_unaligned_trap(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int insn) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
