The exception handler is broken for unaligned memory acceses with fldw and fstw instructions, because it trashes or uses randomly some other floating point register than the one specified in the instruction word on loads and stores. The instruction "fldw 0(addr),%fr22L" (and the other fldw/fstw instructions) encode the target register (%fr22) in the rightmost 5 bits of the instruction word. The 7th rightmost bit of the instruction word defines if the left or right half of %fr22 should be used. While processing unaligned address accesses, the FR3() define is used to extract the offset into the local floating-point register set. But the calculation in FR3() was buggy, so that for example instead of %fr22, register %fr12 [((22 * 2) & 0x1f) = 12] was used. This bug has been since forever in the parisc kernel and I wonder why it wasn't detected earlier. Interestingly I noticed this bug just because the libime debian package failed to build on *native* hardware, while it successfully built in qemu. This patch corrects the bitshift and masking calculation in FR3(). Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
