From a7e30b8d91d3291de4543d97849193ebc3ec4c1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Philippe=20R=C3=A9tornaz?= Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:52:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [AVR32] Fix random segfault with preemption MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit As explained on: http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?nameÿphpBB2&fileÿewtopic&tS307 If the current process is preempted before it can copy RAR_SUP and RSR_SUP both register are lost and the process will segfault as soon as it return from the syscall since the return adress will be corrupted. This patch disable IRQ as soon as we enter the syscall path and reenable them when the copy is done. In the interrupt handlers, check if we are interrupting the srrf instruction, if so disable interrupts and return. The interrupt handler will be re-called immediatly when the interrupts are reenabled. After some stressing workload: - find / > /dev/null in loop - top (in ssh) - ping -f avr32 The segfaults are not seen anymore.
