This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: fix Thumb2 signal handling when ARMv6 is enabled to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt19. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 084e340df141d49c20009f5c66d7a1291e346cc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 16:44:02 +0100 Subject: ARM: fix Thumb2 signal handling when ARMv6 is enabled commit 9b55613f42e8d40d5c9ccb8970bde6af4764b2ab upstream. When a kernel is built covering ARMv6 to ARMv7, we omit to clear the IT state when entering a signal handler. This can cause the first few instructions to be conditionally executed depending on the parent context. In any case, the original test for >= ARMv7 is broken - ARMv6 can have Thumb-2 support as well, and an ARMv6T2 specific build would omit this code too. Relax the test back to ARMv6 or greater. This results in us always clearing the IT state bits in the PSR, even on CPUs where these bits are reserved. However, they're reserved for the IT state, so this should cause no harm.
