Hi, Adam,

   Thank you for your suggestion!  Following your guidance, I log the PF info when system dead like this:

test 1:
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       144
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       143
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       142
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       141
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       140
test 2:
pf:  000a pfa=20144128 ip=20144128 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       105
pf:  000a pfa=20144128 ip=20144128 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       104
pf:  000a pfa=20144128 ip=20144128 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       103
pf:  000a pfa=20144128 ip=20144128 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       102
test 3:
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       116
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       115
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       114
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       113
pf:  000a pfa=2016a8f8 ip=2016a8f8 (r-) spc=0xf12e475c                       112

    What is spc? pc or sp ? I objdump the image, and did not found that address. 
However,  we can't get more info in dump file because the file didn't include any symbol table(Can we 
dump the symbol table by adding some compile option? ).
     At last, different from other chip, we found that address e0000000-fb000000 in s5pv210 is some important register, 
and the kernel seem to map that address, it doesn't matter?
