From: Anfei Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 14:16:49 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ARM: 6166/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on pre-ARMv6 X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34.1~94 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=377b26e45229ed74ecad3ff9a8677bf420d50328;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git ARM: 6166/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on pre-ARMv6 commit 5e27fb78df95e027723af2c90ecc9b4527ae59e9 upstream. Instruction faults on pre-ARMv6 CPUs are interpreted as a 'translation fault', but do_translation_fault doesn't handle well if user mode trying to run instruction above TASK_SIZE, and result in the infinite retry of that instruction.
