Subject: [patch 2.6.11] __copy_user breaks on unaligned src
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 07:04:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12404.1111129477@kao2.melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)
memcpy_mck.S::__copy_user breaks in the prefetch code under these
conditions :-
* src is unaligned and
* dst is near the end of a page and
* the page after dst is unmapped.

Test module follows. vmalloc two pages, they should be contiguous.
Free the second page. Using the first page, copy from an unaligned src
to the end of the page - 0x100, for a length of 0x100. __copy_user
breaks at lfetch.fault.excl [dst_pre_mem], 128 in .unaligned_src.
The loop count in r21 is 1 value too high. A length of 0x100 gives
ar.lc = r21 = 2. .unaligned_src incorrectly copies r21 into ar.lc,
when it should copy cnt, so the lfetch lines are executed 3 times, not
2. That takes dst_pre_mem past the end of the page and into an
unallocated area, oops.
