Hello,
For a while I've been working on a little tool called mpt-status to be
able to monitor LSI based controllers. The source can be found here:
http://www.drugphish.ch/~ratz/mpt-status/
The issue I'm trying to track down now is why I cannot get it to work on
a x86_64 kernel (Sun Fire V20z with AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 252 on
SLES 9 PL3). I suspect 32/64 bit issues between in my ioctl message
passing between user space and kernel space. Unfortunately when I strace
the kernel spits out tons of following entries:
mpt-status[16045] trap int3 rip:400acf rsp:7fbfff70b0 error:0
mpt-status[16045] trap int3 rip:4008f1 rsp:7fbfff70a8 error:0
mpt-status[16045] trap int3 rip:400b86 rsp:7fbfff70b0 error:0
I can only remotely guess what happened because I'm not sound on x64
trap handling, so my question is: How can I best debug and address this
issue in my tool?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with me including kernel headers
in a user space tool, but noone has done the sanitizing for the LSI
related headers residing in drivers/message/fusion. It works on all
32-bit machines I've tested so far.
Attached is a small code style cleanup patch that resulted from my
skimming through the arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c code to figure out what
went haywire. If Andi is ok with it, please consider applying.
