Subject: [PATCH 2/3] MN10300: die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs()
Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 15:47:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110606144714.19155.2243.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110606144705.19155.22278.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs() to
indicate that it wants to probe a kernel address.  Instead it should use
probe_kernel_read().

This fixes the problem of gdb seeing SIGILL rather than SIGTRAP when hitting
the KGDB special breakpoint upon SysRq+g being seen.  The problem was that
die_if_no_fixup() was failing to read the opcode of the instruction that caused
the exception, and thus not fixing up the exception.

This caused gdb to get a S04 response to the $? request in its remote protocol
rather than S05 - which would then cause it to continue with $C04 rather than
$c in an attempt to pass the signal onto the inferior process.  The kernel,
however, does not support $Cnn, and so objects by returning an E22 response,
indicating an error.  gdb does not expect this and prints:

	warning: Remote failure reply: E22

and then returns to the gdb command prompt unable to continue.
