From e5c460f46ae7ee94831cb55cb980f942aa9e5a85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 21:27:37 -0700 Subject: sparc64: Don't bark so loudly about 32-bit tasks generating 64-bit fault addresses. This was found using Dave Jone's trinity tool. When a user process which is 32-bit performs a load or a store, the cpu chops off the top 32-bits of the effective address before translating it. This is because we run 32-bit tasks with the PSTATE_AM (address masking) bit set. We can't run the kernel with that bit set, so when the kernel accesses userspace no address masking occurs. Since a 32-bit process will have no mappings in that region we will properly fault, so we don't try to handle this using access_ok(), which can safely just be a NOP on sparc64. Real faults from 32-bit processes should never generate such addresses so a bug check was added long ago, and it barks in the logs if this happens. But it also barks when a kernel user access causes this condition, and that _can_ happen. For example, if a pointer passed into a system call is "0xfffffffc" and the kernel access 4 bytes offset from that pointer. Just handle such faults normally via the exception entries.
