This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' to the 4.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-send-sigill-for-r6-branches-in-__compute_return_epc_for_insn.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a60b1a5bf88a250f1a77977c0224e502c901c77b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 00:14:12 +0100 Subject: MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a60b1a5bf88a250f1a77977c0224e502c901c77b upstream. Fix: * commit 8467ca0122e2 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 branch compact (BC) instruction"), * commit 84fef630127a ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BALC instruction"), * commit 69b9a2fd05a3 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BEQZC and JIC instructions"), * commit 28d6f93d201d ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BNEZC and JIALC instructions"), * commit c893ce38b265 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BOVC, BEQC and BEQZALC instructions") and send SIGILL rather than returning -SIGILL for R6 branch and jump instructions. Returning -SIGILL is never correct as the API defines this function's result upon error to be -EFAULT and a signal actually issued. Fixes: 8467ca0122e2 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 branch compact (BC) instruction") Fixes: 84fef630127a ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BALC instruction") Fixes: 69b9a2fd05a3 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BEQZC and JIC instructions") Fixes: 28d6f93d201d ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BNEZC and JIALC instructions") Fixes: c893ce38b265 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BOVC, BEQC and BEQZALC instructions") Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
