| |
Dear list,
I have just compiled linux-2.6.24 for a MPC8540 target using a MPC8540 specific gcc.
I then got thousands of "SPE used in kernel" messages. Looking at the sources I ifdeffed out the printk call in KernelSPE, and I now have a silent kernel, that seems to work fine.
Is there something wrong in my setting and should I look further to debug this problem or is this perfectly normal ?
I wonder why a kernel configured for E500 using a E500-specific gcc triggers this message. Is it invalid to use SPE instructions in the kernel ?
Philippe
