Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] riscv: Ensure gp is NULL or points to valid data
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 10:23:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200914142303.21307-7-seanga2@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200914142303.21307-1-seanga2@gmail.com>

This allows code to use a construct like `if (gd & gd->...) { ... }` when
accessing the global data pointer. Without this change, it was possible for
a very early trap to cause _exit_trap to read arbitrary memory. This could
cause a second trap, preventing show_regs from being printed.

XIP cannot use locks because flash is not writable. This leaves it
vulnerable to the same class of bugs regarding already-pending IPIs as
before this series. Fixing that would require finding another method of
synchronization, which is outside the scope of this series.

Fixes: 7c6ca03eae ("riscv: additional crash information")

Changes in v2:
- Set gp early with XIP
