[PATCH 4.9 094/125] MIPS: Send SIGILL for linked branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fef40be6da856afead4177aaa9d869a66fb3381f upstream.

Fix commit 319824eabc3f ("MIPS: kernel: branch: Do not emulate the
branch likelies on MIPS R6") and also send SIGILL rather than returning
-SIGILL for BLTZAL, BLTZALL, BGEZAL and BGEZALL instruction encodings no
longer supported in R6, except where emulated.  Returning -SIGILL is
never correct as the API defines this function's result upon error to be
-EFAULT and a signal actually issued.
