m68k: Move signal frame following exception on 68020/030
commit b845b574f86dcb6a70dfa698aa87a237b0878d2a upstream.
On 68030/020, an instruction such as, moveml %a2-%a3/%a5,%sp@- may cause
a stack page fault during instruction execution (i.e. not at an
instruction boundary) and produce a format 0xB exception frame.
In this situation, the value of USP will be unreliable. If a signal is
to be delivered following the exception, this USP value is used to
calculate the location for a signal frame. This can result in a
corrupted user stack.
The corruption was detected in dash (actually in glibc) where it showed
up as an intermittent "stack smashing detected" message and crash
following signal delivery for SIGCHLD.
It was hard to reproduce that failure because delivery of the signal
raced with the page fault and because the kernel places an unpredictable
gap of up to 7 bytes between the USP and the signal frame.
A format 0xB exception frame can be produced by a bus error or an
address error. The 68030 Users Manual says that address errors occur
immediately upon detection during instruction prefetch. The instruction
pipeline allows prefetch to overlap with other instructions, which means
an address error can arise during the execution of a different
instruction. So it seems likely that this patch may help in the address
error case also.
