Thanks Brad, Andreas,

I won't rely on ARAnyM for these tests any longer then.

I would be much obliged if one of the m68k kernel crowd with access to a
68040 could apply the two attached patches, on top of Eric's
'refactoring exit' series for preference, and check that any program
attempting a simple sin() or exp() operation exits with SEGV.

If you know of a way to trace said program and set a breakpoint in
do_exit(), please also try to inspect saved registers at that point
(though I'm not sure how to create a dump of the actual registers from
inside the exception handler to compare with).

Cheers,

Michael

handling

Call the exception handler in fpsp040/skeleton.S on each f-line
trap. This ought to allow verifying that the added stack frame
is accessible and contains useful data by just tracing a simple
program using one of the floating point operations not supported
by the 68040 FPU.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] m68k/fpsp040 - save full stack frame before calling
fpsp040_die

The FPSP040 floating point support code does not know how to
handle user space access faults gracefully, and just calls
do_exit(SIGSEGV) indirectly on these faults to abort.

do_exit() may stop if traced, and needs a full stack frame
available to avoid exposing kernel data.

Add the current stack frame before calling do_exit() from the
fpsp040 user access exception handler. Top of stack frame saved
to task->thread.esp0 as is done for system calls.

Unwind the stack frame and return to caller once done, in case
do_exit() is replaced by force_sig() later on. Note that this
will allow the current exception handler to continue with
incorrect state, but the results will never make it to the
calling user program which is terminated by SYSSIGV upon return
from exception.
