[PATCH] Fix undefined instruction exception handling

Russell King - ARM Linux linux at arm.linux.org.uk
Sun Jul 29 14:22:36 EDT 2012


While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP handling.  This is because of the
confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is supposed
to point to.

The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed.  However, if the exception is
not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.

This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes.  This is not true of
Thumb2 though.

Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment.  Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.
