[PATCH 0/3] ARM: at91/tclib: fix segmentation fault
From: GaÃl PORTAY
Date: Tue Aug 19 2014 - 18:08:19 EST
Hi every one,
This set of patches fix a segmentation fault happening when kexec-ing
kernel on an at91 platform (see backtrace below).
While the previous kernel shuts down, the tcb_clksrc driver leaves its
interruptions unmasked. When the new kernel initiliazes any tclib making use of
a TC block, an interruption may happen before the interrupt handler is set,
causing a kernel segmentation fault.
To prevent from such cases from happening, the last patch sets up the shutdown
callback which masks interruptions when the machine is shutdown. Furthermore,
it also masks the interruptions at probe to make sure no interruption happens
before the handler is set. This will prevent freshly kexec-ed kernel from
crashing when launched from a kernel which does not properly mask interruptions
at shutdown.
