2019-05-21	selftests/x86: Support Atom for syscall_arg_fault test	Tong Bo	1	-2/+8
	Atom-based CPUs trigger stack fault when invoke 32-bit SYSENTER instruction with invalid register values. So we also need SIGBUS handling in this case. Following is assembly when the fault exception happens. (gdb) disassemble $eip Dump of assembler code for function __kernel_vsyscall: 0xf7fd8fe0 <+0>: push %ecx 0xf7fd8fe1 <+1>: push %edx 0xf7fd8fe2 <+2>: push %ebp 0xf7fd8fe3 <+3>: mov %esp,%ebp 0xf7fd8fe5 <+5>: sysenter 0xf7fd8fe7 <+7>: int $0x80 => 0xf7fd8fe9 <+9>: pop %ebp 0xf7fd8fea <+10>: pop %edx 0xf7fd8feb <+11>: pop %ecx 0xf7fd8fec <+12>: ret End of assembler dump. According to Intel SDM, this could also be a Stack Segment Fault(#SS, 12), except a normal Page Fault(#PF, 14). Especially, in section 6.9 of Vol.3A, both stack and page faults are within the 10th(lowest priority) class, and as it said, "exceptions within each class are implementation-dependent and may vary from processor to processor". It's expected for processors like Intel Atom to trigger stack fault(SIGBUS), while we get page fault(SIGSEGV) from common Core processors.

2015-07-07	x86/entry, selftests/x86: Add a test for 32-bit fast syscall arg faults	Andy Lutomirski	1	-0/+130
	This test passes on 4.0 and fails on some newer kernels. Fortunately, the failure is likely not a big deal. This test will make sure that we don't break it further (e.g. OOPSing) as we clean up the entry code and that we eventually fix the regression. There's arguably no need to preserve the old ABI here -- anything that makes it into a fast (vDSO) syscall with a bad stack is about to crash no matter what we do.
