But that is the same with and without these patches.
I wonder if recent signal handling changes (e.g. commit
0d4276cfbe6fd4c4a21acdee803b05a3a6192082) have rare unexpected side
effects on
Coldfire here ... OTOH, signal handling as such works just fine, right?
That would be commit b845b574f86d ("m68k: Move signal frame following
exception on 68020/030") on mainline. If it caused a regression, that
would have first appeared in v6.4. I can't imagine how that commit could
affect Coldfire but that's no reason not to test an older kernel.
Yes, testing older kernels is certainly the fastest way to rule out
involvement of that commit.
I will go back a few revisions and see if I can shed some light on it.

Greg
On a closer look, there is no possible way in that this commit can be
responsible for the bug unless Coldfire does use frame format B for
access errors. I don't think that's likely?
FWIW, my hunch is that the other stressors which call wait4() will
probably crash too (regardless of kernel version).
Quite likely ...
Cheers,
Michael
