emulate_load_store_insn

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

 



Can anyone please explain the whole deal with the emulate_load_store_insn 
function in arch/mips/kernel/unaligned.c.
Isn't there a potential hole there, where a user application makes an illegal 
memory access to an unaligned address and then the kernel tries to emulate that 
and crashes.
It also look like the MF_FIXADE flag is set by default, why is that ? Shouldn't 
one suppose to make a syscall setting this MF_FIXADE flag ?
