From bb6e647051a59dca5a72b3deef1e061d7c1c34da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haavard Skinnemoen Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 14:29:16 +0200 Subject: avr32: Fix oops on unaligned user access The unaligned address exception handler (and others) does not scan the fixup tables before oopsing. This is bad because it means passing a badly aligned pointer from user space might crash the kernel. Fix this by scanning the fixup tables in _exception(). This should resolve the issue for unaligned addresses as well as other less common exceptions that might be happening during a userspace access. The page fault handler already does fixup processing.
