From 483a6c9d447f625b991fa04a1530493d893984db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Sat, 24 May 2014 17:38:01 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8064/1: fix v7-M signal return MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit According to the ARM ARM, the behaviour is UNPREDICTABLE if the PC read from the exception return stack is not half word aligned. See the pseudo code for ExceptionReturn() and PopStack(). The signal handler's address has the bit 0 set, and setup_return() directly writes this to regs->ARM_pc. Current hardware happens to discard this bit, but QEMU's emulation doesn't and this makes processes crash. Mask out bit 0 before the exception return in order to get predictable behaviour.
