That's a very good point, at first I was relying on the fact that even though we register our fault code, this is not much of a problem because the list is empty until we get to probe the gisb-arb node, it would be empty for non-brcmstb platforms, but that's not a good thing. > > So it seems we need to gate this behind some kind of machine check; > either called from mach-bcm/*, or better, from something that is probed > via device tree.

No, I do not think this is a problem, there might be a small window during which we enable external aborts exceptions and we have no handler for it yet, but I will check that more thoroughly. > >> Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com> >> --- >> Changes in v2: >> - removed the accidental hunk that added saved_timeout since it does >> not belong in this patch >> >> drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c | 4 +++- >> 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c b/drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c >> index f2cd6a2d40b4..5b608955957a 100644 >> --- a/drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c >> +++ b/drivers/bus/brcmstb_gisb.c >> @@ -160,11 +160,13 @@ static int brcmstb_bus_error_handler(unsigned long addr, unsigned int fsr, >> return ret; >> } >> >> -void __init brcmstb_hook_fault_code(void) >> +static int __init brcmstb_hook_fault_code(void) >> { >> hook_fault_code(22, brcmstb_bus_error_handler, SIGBUS, 0, >> "imprecise external abort"); >> + return 0; >> } >> +arch_initcall(brcmstb_hook_fault_code) >> >> static irqreturn_t brcmstb_gisb_timeout_handler(int irq, void *dev_id) >> { > > Brian > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
