This patch was developed and discussed on - - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/859 - -A precondition to see the crashes is that floating point exception -traps are enabled. In this case, the VFP11 might determine that a FPU -operation needs to trap at a point in time when it is not possible to -signal this to the ARM11 core any more. The VFP11 will then set the -FPEXC.EX bit and store the trapped opcode in FPINST. (In some cases, -a second opcode might have been accepted by the VFP11 before the -exception was detected and could be reported to the ARM11 - in this -case, the VFP11 also sets FPEXC.FP2V and stores the second opcode in -FPINST2.) - -If FPEXC.EX is set, the VFP11 will "bounce" the next FPU opcode issued -by the ARM11 CPU, which will be seen by the ARM11 as an undefined opcode -trap. The VFP support code examines the FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V bits -to decide what actions to take, i.e., whether to emulate the opcodes -found in FPINST and FPINST2, and whether to retry the bounced instruction. - -If a user space application has left the VFP11 in this "pending trap" -state, the next FPU opcode issued to the VFP11 might actually be the -VSTMIA operation vfp_save_state() uses to store the FPU registers -to memory (in our test cases, when building the signal stack frame). -In this case, the kernel crashes as described above. - -This patch fixes the problem by making sure that vfp_save_state() is -always entered with FPEXC.EX cleared. (The current value of FPEXC has -already been saved, so this does not corrupt the context. Clearing -FPEXC.EX has no effects on FPINST or FPINST2. Also note that many -callers already modify FPEXC by setting FPEXC.EN before invoking -vfp_save_state().) - -This patch also addresses a second problem related to FPEXC.EX: After -returning from signal handling, the kernel reloads the VFP context -from the user mode stack. However, the current code explicitly clears -both FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V during reload. As VFP11 requires these -bits to be preserved, this patch disables clearing them for VFP -implementations belonging to architecture 1. There should be no -negative side effects: the user can set both bits by executing FPU -opcodes anyway, and while user code may now place arbitrary values -into FPINST and FPINST2 (e.g., non-VFP ARM opcodes) the VFP support -code knows which instructions can be emulated, and rejects other -opcodes with "unhandled bounce" messages, so there should be no -security impact from allowing reloading FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V. - -Signed-off-by: Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze <cat.schulze@alice-dsl.net> ---- - arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++------ - 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) - ---- a/arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c -+++ b/arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c -@@ -179,8 +179,11 @@ static int vfp_notifier(struct notifier_ - * case the thread migrates to a different CPU.
