    sparc64: Zero pages on allocation for mondo and error queues. · 7a7dc961
    Liam R. Howlett authored
    Error queues use a non-zero first word to detect if the queues are full.
    Using pages that have not been zeroed may result in false positive
    overflow events.  These queues are set up once during boot so zeroing
    all mondo and error queue pages is safe.
    
    Note that the false positive overflow does not always occur because the
    page allocation for these queues is so early in the boot cycle that
    higher number CPUs get fresh pages.  It is only when traps are serviced
    with lower number CPUs who were given already used pages that this issue
    is exposed.
