Hallo Kevin! First of all many thanks for your thoughts and especially your explanations of some of the kernel's internals! Kevin D.

I have added some more debug outputs to the code. I can confirm now defnitely that the dsemul path is run and the the SIGILL is the result of a dsemul_ret returning 0, also see the below extended dumps. The strange thing is the fault does not always occur and if it occurs it does not always happen in the same place of the application. So I assume that this is not a problem of the application itself deliberatley executing a certain instruction but rather a side effect of something different - like wrong caches. On the other hand again it is strange that only the dsemul path seems to be triggered. Could it be that the exception that is used for math emulation can also have other causes in different CPU implementations? The JZ4730 has some DSP alike SIMD instructions... but then again why can't it be traced to a single instruction inside the application (i.e. rather seems to happen randomly)? > Regards, > Kevin K.
