Registers Dump

Please read this howto for information on reporting PA-RISC kernel problems.

A good example is better than a long explanation, so here it is:

Following is an explanation of each field of a userspace do_page_fault() dump, thanks to KyleMcMartin:

do_page_fault() pid=21916 command='gij-4.1.bin' type=15 address=0x00000004

Self explainatory (address is the faulting address). Type 15 is a dtlb fault (typical on load from null pointer). Type 6 is itlb (typical on store to null pointer):

FPRs. Note that the value of fr0 as printed in the line starting with fr00-03 is bogus and should be ignored. fr0 actual content is displayed in FPSR and FPER1.

Space queues (front & back):

IAOQ: 000000004165586f 0000000041655873

The faulting address (and the next address in the queue) with the prot bits

IIR: 0f881083    ISR: 0000000000892800  IOR: 0000000000000004

IIR is the interrupting instruction register, in this case, it’s:

0:   0f 88 10 83     ldw 4(ret0),r3

So, can plainly see it’s a null ptr deref.

CPU:        0   CR30: 0000000114bc0000 CR31: 0000000040500000
ORIG_R28: 0000000000000002
IAOQ[0]: 0x4165586c
IAOQ[1]: 0x41655870

Actual faulting address (with the low-bits masked):

RP(r2): 0x41655860

Return pointer.
