Can you describe what goes wrong without this? Some oops message? rtas blows up?
Get corrupt data?

Larry reported a machine check. Or in fact, he reported a Oops in kprobe_handler(), that Oops being a bug in kprobe_handle() triggered by this machine check.

By converting a VM address to a phys-like address as if is was linear mem, you get in the dark. Either there is some physical memory at that address and you corrupt it. Or there is none and you get a machine check.


Also can you say what you're actually doing (ie turning on MSR[DR])

Euh ... I'm saying that data MMU has to be enabled, so I'm enabling it.

You're potentially turning on more than MSR DR here. This should be clear in the
commit message.

Am I ?

At the time of the RFI just above, SRR1 contains the value of r9 which has been set 2 lines before to MSR_KERNEL & ~(MSR_IR|MSR_DR).

What should be clear in the commit message ?
