Hi folks...
Well, even after Erik's bug-hunting in pmap_page_protect*(), I still
seem to randomly lose, although differently :-)
Came into work this morning to find my SS2 had gotten a kernel fault in
pmap_page_protect4_4c(), at:
0xf80f593c is in pmap_page_protect4_4c (../../../../arch/sparc/sparc/pmap.c:4255).
4250 if ((pa & (PMAP_TNC_4 & ~PMAP_NC)) ||
4251 !managed(pa) || prot & VM_PROT_WRITE)
4252 return;
4253 write_user_windows(); /* paranoia */
4254 if (prot & VM_PROT_READ) {
4255 pv_changepte4_4c(pvhead(pa), 0, PG_W);
4256 return;
4257 }
4258
4259 /*
(kgdb)
I see pvhead() is:
#define pvhead(pa) (&pv_table[atop((pa) - vm_first_phys)])
I'm guessing that I actually lost inside pv_changepte4_4c(), but DDB botched
the stack trace...
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to jot down much more info than this... If
it happens again, I'll try and get _LOTS_ of info... this is a heads-up,
mostly..
