Hi,
in the ia64_init() function, the fpswa is initialized as follows:
fpswa_interface = (FPSWA_INTERFACE*)IA64_PHYS_TO_RR7(bootinfo.bi_fpswa);
Shouldn't it be tested here whether bootinfo.bi_fpswa is NULL? It would make
the follwing test in cpu_startup() much more meaningful:
if (fpswa_interface == NULL)
printf("Warning: no FPSWA package supplied\n");
else
printf("FPSWA Revision = 0x%lx, Entry = %p\n",
(long)fpswa_interface->Revision,
(void *)fpswa_interface->Fpswa);
As of now, this will always execute the else branch, because bootinfo.bi_fpswa
was unconditionally or'ed with 7 << 61 and the result can therefore not be
NULL.
Or am I missing something?
Christian
