In the latest version of arch/mips/kernel/unaligned.c, there has been inserted some calls to the die_if_kernel, which check if we are running in kernel mode and if so dies. I'm not so sure this is the right thing to do, the floating point emulator will in some cases generate an address error (e.g. if emulating a swc1 to an unaligned address). The result is that an user application can crash the kernel. /Carsten -- _ _ ____ ___ Carsten Langgaard Mailto:carstenl@mips.com |\ /|||___)(___ MIPS Denmark Direct: +45 4486 5527 | \/ ||| ____) Lautrupvang 4B Switch: +45 4486 5555 TECHNOLOGIES 2750 Ballerup Fax...: +45 4486 5556 Denmark http://www.mips.com
