drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform devicegrafted
platform_device_register_data() can fail and return an ERR_PTR, but the
return value is used without checking, leading to an invalid pointer
being stored in ddp_comp[].dev and passed to component_match_add() and
mtk_ddp_comp_init(), which could result in a kernel crash.
Add an IS_ERR() check to jump to the error handling path on failure.

Absolute addresses +===================== + +A lot of the assembly code currently runs in real mode, which means +absolute addresses are used instead of virtual addresses as in the +rest of the kernel. To translate an absolute address to a virtual +address you can lookup in System.map, add __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000 +currently). + + +2. HPMCs +======== + +When real-mode code tries to access non-existent memory, you'll get +an HPMC instead of a kernel oops. To debug an HPMC, try to find +the System Responder/Requestor addresses. The System Requestor +address should match (one of the) processor HPAs (high addresses in +the I/O range); the System Responder address is the address real-mode +code tried to access. + +Typical values for the System Responder address are addresses larger +than __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000) which mean a virtual address didn't +get translated to a physical address before real-mode code tried to +access it. + + +3. Q bit fun +============ + +Certain, very critical code has to clear the Q bit in the PSW. What +happens when the Q bit is cleared is the CPU does not update the +registers interruption handlers read to find out where the machine +was interrupted - so if you get an interruption between the instruction +that clears the Q bit and the RFI that sets it again you don't know +where exactly it happened. If you're lucky the IAOQ will point to the +instruction that cleared the Q bit, if you're not it points anywhere +at all. Usually Q bit problems will show themselves in unexplainable +system hangs or running off the end of physical memory. |
