Message-ID: <200106090151.SAA11162@hubble.mips.com> (raw)
Can anyone please explain the whole deal with the emulate_load_store_insn
function in arch/mips/kernel/unaligned.c.
Isn't there a potential hole there, where a user application makes an illegal
memory access to an unaligned address and then the kernel tries to emulate that
and crashes.
It also look like the MF_FIXADE flag is set by default, why is that ? Shouldn't
one suppose to make a syscall setting this MF_FIXADE flag ?
