I am going to try to cherry pick a set of commits to see if I can't get a
better idear of where the memory corruption on sun4c is coming from. Build
problems sue to the DMA changes make git bisecting un-usable untill I have
found out which patches fix the DMA build issues.
You have any known-good kernel?
Boot back into this kernel for bisecting and compiling the kernels for
bisecting there.
As I said, bisecting does not work if you can't build the kernel because
of un-defined symbols spanning most of the revisions you are interested
in.
I have isolated the revisions that do not build so I should be able to
cerry pick a commit/commits that fixes the build issues. Once done, I will
be able to investigate the original issue.
If it were practical to do a build test on all supported platforms before
submitting patches then this would not be so much of an issue but ...
