Subject: [PATCH v2] xtensa: align: validate access in fast_load_store
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 16:28:57 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251214222856.2714887-2-richard.rringler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251213025252.2574336-2-richard.rringler@gmail.com>
access_ok() is used only in user mode and
branches to .Linvalid_instruction on fault.
Kernel mode behavior unchanged.
v2:
- Address Max's feedback
- Fixed formatting
- Added user mode branch
Tested-by: Ricky Ringler <richard.rringler@gmail.com>
Testing:
- Built with CONFIG_MMU enabled
- objdump before/after comparison and validated code path
Signed-off-by: Ricky Ringler <richard.rringler@gmail.com>
