[PATCH 0/2] Fix PC corruption when injecting a fault

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When injecting a fault as the result of a system register trap, we
change the PC to point to the fault handler. This clashes with the
code that increments the PC to skip over the emulated system register
access, leading to a situation where we skip the first instruction of
the fault handler.

The good news is that so far, we never do this, so I believe the
current code is safe. But the PMU code is soon going to exercise that
path, and I'd rather plug it sooner that later.

Thanks,

	M.
