Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: cevt-r4k: fix array out-of-bounds access
Date: Tue,  4 Apr 2017 09:42:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1491291731-5797-1-git-send-email-rabin.vincent@axis.com> (raw)

From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com>

calculate_min_delta() tries to access a fourth element of buf2 but the
array has only three elements.  This triggers undefined behaviour and
causes strange crashes in start_kernel() sometime after timer
initialization, when built with GCC 5.3, probably due to register/stack
corruption:

 sched_clock: 32 bits at 200MHz, resolution 5ns, wraps every 10737418237ns
 CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffb0aa,
       epc == 8067daa8, ra == 8067da84
