    parisc: Clear stale IIR value on instruction access rights trap · 484730e5
    Helge Deller authored
    When a trap 7 (Instruction access rights) occurs, this means the CPU
    couldn't execute an instruction due to missing execute permissions on
    the memory region.  In this case it seems the CPU didn't even fetched
    the instruction from memory and thus did not store it in the cr19 (IIR)
    register before calling the trap handler. So, the trap handler will find
    some random old stale value in cr19.
    
    This patch simply overwrites the stale IIR value with a constant magic
    "bad food" value (0xbaadf00d), in the hope people don't start to try to
    understand the various random IIR values in trap 7 dumps.
