/* * Copyright 2017, Gustavo Romero, IBM Corp. * Licensed under GPLv2. * * Check if thread endianness is flipped inadvertently to BE on trap * caught in TM whilst MSR.FP and MSR.VEC are zero (i.e. just after * load_fp and load_vec overflowed). * * The issue can be checked on LE machines simply by zeroing load_fp * and load_vec and then causing a trap in TM. Since the endianness * changes to BE on return from the signal handler, 'nop' is * thread as an illegal instruction in following sequence: * tbegin. * beq 1f * trap * tend. * 1: nop * * However, although the issue is also present on BE machines, it's a * bit trickier to check it on BE machines because MSR.LE bit is set * to zero which determines a BE endianness that is the native * endianness on BE machines, so nothing notably critical happens, * i.e. no illegal instruction is observed immediately after returning * from the signal handler (as it happens on LE machines). Thus to test * it on BE machines LE endianness is forced after a first trap and then * the endianness is verified on subsequent traps to determine if the * endianness "flipped back" to the native endianness (BE). */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "tm.h" #include "utils.h" #define pr_error(error_code, format, ...) \ error_at_line(1, error_code, __FILE__, __LINE__, format, ##__VA_ARGS__) #define MSR_LE 1UL #define LE 1UL pthread_t t0_ping; pthread_t t1_pong; int exit_from_pong; int trap_event; int le; bool success; void trap_signal_handler(int signo, siginfo_t *si, void *uc) { ucontext_t *ucp = uc; uint64_t thread_endianness; /* Get thread endianness: extract bit LE from MSR */ thread_endianness = MSR_LE & ucp->uc_mcontext.gp_regs[PT_MSR]; /*** * Little-Endian Machine */ if (le) { /* First trap event */ if (trap_event == 0) { /* Do nothing.
