From 230aef7a6a23b6166bd4003bfff5af23c9bd381f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2013 02:01:19 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Handle unaligned ldbrx/stdbrx Normally when we haven't implemented an alignment handler for a load or store instruction the process will be terminated. The alignment handler uses the DSISR (or a pseudo one) to locate the right handler. Unfortunately ldbrx and stdbrx overlap lfs and stfs so we incorrectly think ldbrx is an lfs and stdbrx is an stfs. This bug is particularly nasty - instead of terminating the process we apply an incorrect fixup and continue on. With more and more overlapping instructions we should stop creating a pseudo DSISR and index using the instruction directly, but for now add a special case to catch ldbrx/stdbrx.
