Subject: [RFC] powerpc/emulate_step: Fix kernel crash when VSX is not present
Date: Wed, 16 May 2018 11:10:21 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180516054021.5328-1-ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

emulate_step() is not checking runtime VSX feature flag before
emulating an instruction. This can cause kernel oops when kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_VSX=y but running on machine where VSX is
not supported or disabled. Ex, while running emulate_step tests on
P6 machine:

  ...
  emulate_step_test: lvx            : PASS
  emulate_step_test: stvx           : PASS
  Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 4 [#1]

Note: VSX was first introduced on P6. But there are many VSX instructions
      which were introduced in later versions. So ideally, analyse_instr()
      should check for ISA version along with opcode.
