[PATCH] ARC: prevent showing irrelevant exception info in signal message

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

 



We process signals in the end of syscall/exception handler.
It the signal is fatal we print register's content using
show_regs function. show_regs() also prints information about
last exception happened.

In case of multicore system we can catch the situation when we
will print wrong information about exception. See the example:
______________________________
CPU-0: started to handle page fault
CPU-1: sent signal to process, which is executed on CPU-0
CPU-0: ended page fault handle. Started to process signal before
       returnig to userspace. Process signal, which is send from
       CPU-0. As th signal is fatal we call show_regs().
       show_regs() will show information about last exception
       which is *page fault* (instead of "trap" which is used for
       signals and happened on CPU-0)

So we will get message like this:
    /home/waitpid02
  potentially unexpected fatal signal 8.
  Path: /home/waitpid02
  CPU: 0 PID: 100 Comm: waitpid02 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc4 #2
  task: 9f11c200 task.stack: 9f3ae000

  [ECR   ]: 0x00050200 => Invalid Write @ 0x00000000 by insn @ 0x000123ec
  [EFA   ]: 0x00000000
  [BLINK ]: 0x123ea
  [ERET  ]: 0x123ec
    @off 0x123ec in [/home/waitpid02]
    VMA: 0x00010000 to 0x00016000
  [STAT32]: 0x80080882 : IE U
  BTA: 0x000123ea  SP: 0x5ffd3db0  FP: 0x00000000
  LPS: 0x20031684 LPE: 0x2003169a LPC: 0x00000006
  [-----other-info-----]

This message is confusing because it show information about page fault
( [ECR   ]: 0x00050200 => Invalid Write ) which is absolutely irrelevant
to signal.

This situation was reproduced with waitpid02 LTP test.
_____________________________

So remove printing information about exceptions from show_regs()
to avoid confusing messages. Print information about exceptions
only in required places instead of show_regs()

Now we don't print information about exceptions if signal is simply
send by another userspace app. So in case of waitpid02 we will print
next message:
_____________________________
    ./waitpid02
  potentially unexpected fatal signal 8.
  [STAT32]: 0x80080082 : IE U
  BTA: 0x20000fc4	 SP: 0x5ff8bd64	 FP: 0x00000000
  LPS: 0x200524a0	LPE: 0x200524b6	LPC: 0x00000006
  [-----other-info-----]
