[sparc32] userland unaligned access

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

 



	We have
asmlinkage void user_unaligned_trap(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int insn)
{
        enum direction dir;

        if(!(current->thread.flags & SPARC_FLAG_UNALIGNED) ||
           (((insn >> 30) & 3) != 3))
                goto kill_user;

there, followed by some work on emulating the insn.  So while the default
behaviour is to hit the process with SIGBUS, it can overridden by setting
SPARC_FLAG_UNALIGNED in current->thread.flags.  Fair enough, but...  Just
what could possibly set that flag?

That stuff had been introduced back in 2.1.9 and even there (or through
the 2.2, etc.) I don't see anything that would ever set it.

Am I missing something, or had it really been dead code all along?
