Hi all,
in the frame of a hobby project
(https://ford.biologie.hu-berlin.de/matze/linux-m68k-atarinommu/wikis/home),
I did some changes to the kernel to make it boot on MMU-less, original
Atari ST machines.
So far, my kernel manages to mount a root filesystem from fd0 and run
busybox.
However, busybox (nano-X as well), produces a bus error and crashes the
whole kernel:
==== hatari emulator output:
M68000 Bus Error reading at address $0 PC=$48f2.
Bus error exception at 0x48f2!
====
The disassembly from objdump -D shows, that this happens in resume
(https://ford.biologie.hu-berlin.de/matze/linux-m68k-atarinommu/blob/master/arch/m68k/kernel/entry.S#L2195):

===
It can be seen from the register dump given by the hatari debugger, that
USP contains 0x0 and the superuser bit (indicated by "S=0") is not set:
=== hatari emulator output:

000048F2 4e75 RTS
Next PC: 000048f4
===
If I understand correctly, the problem is that RTS sets the PC to USP,
so the Atari wants to execute the code at 0x0, which is wrong and not
allowed, of course.
I found the line "p->thread.usp = 0;" in the function copy_thread
(https://ford.biologie.hu-berlin.de/matze/linux-m68k-atarinommu/blob/master/arch/m68k/kernel/process.c#L158),
which is executed under the condition "unlikely(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD)".
Just setting p->thread.usp = usp; did not help and I'm not sure why this
should be necessary anyway.
Another thing I found out is that the crash happens at first call of
resume with the superuser bit set to zero. Before that certain call,
there are many successful calls in superuser mode.
Do you have any idea why this might happen? Is it maybe a nommu-related
issue? Any speculations are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Matthias

It is unlikely you would need to change anything here. That code works
as is on nommu ColdFire and other 68k nommu parts (68328 for example).

So is this crashing at the step of trying to load and run the
first user app?

SR should never contain S=0 at this point, as returning from kernel
context always happens with RTE (via resume_userspace).

In short, I used the -m68000 gcc switch and set the following options:
uClibc .config:
TARGET_ARCH="m68k"
# UCLIBC_FORMAT_FLAT is not set
UCLIBC_FORMAT_FLAT_SEP_DATA=y
# UCLIBC_FORMAT_SHARED_FLAT is not set
busybox .config:
CONFIG_STATIC=y
# CONFIG_PIE is not set
CONFIG_NOMMU=y
The full details can be found under:

In the tarball, you can there is a script that should include all steps,
including the ./configure options, as well as all .config's.

It happens after run_init_process() is called.
Thanks!

Given the value of SSP and the values loaded into D6/D7 (which match the
ROM shadow at address 0), it is clear that SP was 0 at $48ea. So it
looks like A1 is just pointing at a block of zeros, not at a valid task
struct.

Maybe the allocation for the task struct failed? I will check that. Thanks for
your analysis!
