[PATCH 3.2 22/74] MIPS: Send SIGILL for BPOSGE32 in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

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

 



3.2.94-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7b82c1058ac1f8f8b9f2b8786b1f710a57a870a8 upstream.

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.
