I've managed to `fix` the triple fault (see further below for the patch
in all it's glory). Unfortunately i have been unable to come up with a
simpler workaround which is fewer instructions and easier to debug. I have
tried the following;
mb()/barrier()
flush_tlb_all()
wbinvd()
outb(0x80,0x00)
local_irq_save(flags); local_irq_enable(); loop(); local_irq_restore(flags);
long_loop()
What i do know is that in the following code;
__asm__ __volatile__(
"xorl %%eax,%%eax; movl %%eax,%%fs; movl %%eax,%%gs\n\t"
"movl %0,%%esp\n\t"
"movl %1,%%ebp\n\t"
"jmp resume_userspace"
: /* no outputs */
:"r" (&info->regs), "r" (tsk->thread_info) : "ax");
It does get to resume_userspace as putting a $0 into %ebp will oops in
__switch_to
And here is the current 'workaround'. Any hints?
