[PATCH 3/4] riscv: Correct the handling of unexpected ebreak in do_trap_break()
From: Vincent Chen
Date: Sun Sep 22 2019 - 20:45:50 EST
For the kernel space, all ebreak instructions are determined at compile
time because the kernel space debugging module is currently unsupported.
Hence, it should be treated as a bug if an ebreak instruction which does
not belong to BUG_TRAP_TYPE_WARN or BUG_TRAP_TYPE_BUG is executed in
kernel space. For the userspace, debugging module or user problem may
intentionally insert an ebreak instruction to trigger a SIGTRAP signal.
To approach the above two situations, the do_trap_break() will direct
the BUG_TRAP_TYPE_NONE ebreak exception issued in kernel space to die()
and will send a SIGTRAP to the trapped process only when the ebreak is
in userspace.
