From f27d36c361abef8fcbb377a8949067290770571a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vadim Bendebury Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2012 15:03:09 -0700 Subject: Fix cbmem to work on 64 bit platforms For some reason which I fail to understand, specifying endiannes using '@' (which means 'native' and should be the same as '<' on x86 platforms) causes cbmem.py to crash the machine on 64 bit systems. What happens is that the addresses read from various table headers' struct representations do not make sense, when bogus address gets passed to get_phys_mem, the crash happens while that function is executed. dlaurie@ found out that replacing "@" with "<" in fact fixes the issue. After some investigation I am just submitting this fix without much understanding of the root cause.
