The signal handler in the alignment handler self test has the ability to jump over the instruction that triggered the signal. It does this by incrementing the PT_NIP in the user context by 4. If it were a prefixed instruction this will mean that the suffix is then executed which is incorrect. Instead check if the major opcode indicates a prefixed instruction (e.g. it is 1) and if so increment PT_NIP by 8. If ISA v3.1 is not available treat it as a word instruction even if the major opcode is 1.

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.
