ARCv2: STAR 9000808988: signals involving Delay Slot
Reported by Anton as LTP:munmap01 failing with Illegal Instruction Exception. --------------------->8-------------------------------------- mmap2(NULL, 24576, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x200d2000 munmap(0x200d2000, 24576) = 0 --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x200d2000} --- potentially unexpected fatal signal 4. Path: /munmap01 CPU: 0 PID: 61 Comm: munmap01 Not tainted 3.13.0-g5d5c46d9a556 #8 task: 9f1a8000 ti: 9f154000 task.ti: 9f154000 [ECR ]: 0x00020100 => Illegal Insn [EFA ]: 0x0001354c [BLINK ]: 0x200515d4 [ERET ]: 0x1354c @off 0x1354c in [/munmap01] VMA: 0x00010000 to 0x00018000 [STAT32]: 0x800802c0 ... --------------------->8-------------------------------------- The issue was 1. munmap01 accessed unmapped memory (on purpose) with signal handler installed for SIGSEGV 2. The faulting instruction happened to be in Delay Slot 00011864 <main>: 11908: bl.d 13284 <tst_resm> 1190c: stb r16,[r2] 3. kernel sets up the reg file for signal handler and correctly clears the DE bit in pt_regs->status32 placeholder 4. However RESTORE_CALLEE_SAVED_USER macro is not adjusted for ARCv2, and it over-writes the above with orig/stale value of status32 5. After RTIE, userspace signal handler executes a non branch instruction with DE bit set, triggering Illegal Instruction Exception.
