Those computers always have an R2000 CPU=20 and consequently the exception handler used in memory probing uses the=20 RFE instruction, which those processors use. While adding 64-bit support this code was correctly excluded for 64-bit=20 configurations, however it should have also been excluded for irrelevant=20 32-bit configurations. Do this now then, and only enable PMAX memory=20 probing for R3k systems. Reported-by: Jan-Benedict Glaw Reported-by: Sudip Mukherjee Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v2.6.12+ --- Hi, I'm assuming this won't go back beyond commit 2a11c8ea20bf ("kconfig:=20 Introduce IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE()") or any backport=20 will have to be rewritten to avoid IS_ENABLED. The original actual change named to fix ought to be commit dd82ef87e4c9=20 ("PROM interface rework to support a 64-bit kernel.") from the LMO repo:=20 ,=20 which introduced the `prom_is_rex' macro, which guards this code. Said=20 commit predates the history of our main repository though. This change has actually been verified at runtime with a PMIN system=20 (effectively a PMAX, but with a slower R2000 CPU) and a 4MAX+ system (an=20 R4400SC-based machine), and naturally throughout the three possible build=20 configurations: R3k, R4k/32-bit, R4k/64-bit. It took longer than expected, but oh well... Sorry for the inconvenience=20 caused.
