Subject: [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU exception
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~107^2~11
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2dede2d8e925f4c2cb4e136b14df127685e15dd3;p=linux-2.6

[ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU exception

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for
reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions.

We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an
exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit
aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function.

If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as
long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data
stack space remain multiples of 8.
