[parisc-linux] Pb with fcntl.c

[Matthieu Delahaye]

Hi all!

while my kernel was booting, I got this dump:

Kernel Fault: Code=26 regs=10038580 (Addr=00000008)

ORIG_R28: 0000000f


The incriminated instruction is in the code of fput():

    101394bc:   08 1a 02 43     copy r26,r3
    101394c0:   6b c5 3f 89     stw r5,-3c(sp)

    101394dc:   0e 80 10 93     ldw  0(sr0,r20),r19
    [...]

Since r3 value is 0 and since r3 is a copy of r26, which 
is arg0 according to Documentation/parisc/register, I assume
that fput as been called with a null argument.

the address 101496ec is part of sys_fcntl():

00000000101496a0 <sys_fcntl>:

    101496d0:   c8 9c 20 28     movb,= ret0,r4,101496ec <sys_fcntl+0x4c>
    101496d4:   08 06 02 58     copy r6,r24
    101496d8:   e8 5f 1a e5     b,l 10149450 <do_fcntl>,rp
    101496dc:   08 04 02 57     copy r4,r23

    101496e4:   e8 57 1b 8d     b,l 101394b0 <fput>,rp
    101496e8:   08 1c 02 43     copy ret0,r3
    101496ec:   08 03 02 5c     copy r3,ret0
    101496f0:   4b c2 3f 59     ldw -54(sp),rp
    101496f4:   4b c5 3f 89     ldw -3c(sp),r5
    101496f8:   4b c4 3f 91     ldw -38(sp),r4

    10149704:   4f c6 3f 81     ldw,mb <(sp),r6

Here, before the call of fput, r4 is copied into r26.
But at the address 101496d0, if r4 is null, there is a branch
over the call of fput()... So fput() would never have been called with
a null argument.

Does anyone have a clue of what happened? Btw, is the file "register" up
to date?

No, is it repeatable?  32 or 64 bit kernel?  What h/w?  What compiler?

I agree with your diagnosis; looks like r4 got corrupted somehow.

Well, it seems my xc was too old. I changed to a more recent
and this disappears.
Sorry for disagreements ;-)
