ARCv2: STAR 9000950267: Handle return from intr to Delay Slot #2
commit cbfe74a753e877b49dc54e9b04d5d42230ca0aed upstream. Returning to delay slot, riding an interrupti, had one loose end. AUX_USER_SP used for restoring user mode SP upon RTIE was not being setup from orig task's saved value, causing task to use wrong SP, leading to ProtV errors. The reason being: - INTERRUPT_EPILOGUE returns to a kernel trampoline, thus not expected to restore it - EXCEPTION_EPILOGUE is not used at all Fix that by restoring AUX_USER_SP explicitly in the trampoline. This was broken in the original workaround, but the error scenarios got reduced considerably since v3.14 due to following: 1. The Linuxthreads.old based userspace at the time caused many more exceptions in delay slot than the current NPTL based one. Infact with current userspace the error doesn't happen at all. 2. Return from interrupt (delay slot or otherwise) doesn't get exercised much after commit 4de0e52867d8 ("Really Re-enable interrupts to avoid deadlocks") since IRQ_ACTIVE.active being clear means most returns are as if from pure kernel (even for active interrupts) Infact the issue only happened in an experimental branch where I was tinkering with reverted 4de0e52867d8 Fixes: 4255b07f2c9c ("ARCv2: STAR 9000793984: Handle return from intr to Delay Slot") Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
