sparc: SIGILL stepping over `std` in gdb Description of problem: Certain cases of single-stepping thru the `std` store double-word instruction causes SIGILL fatal trap, while normal execution of the program is fine. Unfortunately I do not have access to real SPARC hardware so I cannot attest whether this is an emulation issue or not. My previous bugfix #2281 fixed any single-stepping in a debugger from panicking the kernel, associated with the `lda` on ASI_USERTXT in the `default_fuword32` function. I suspect further bugs like this could be related somehow. Perhaps a different instruction is used for the 64-bit access that needs a similar fix. This problem was experienced while testing some shell-spawning assembly: ``` -bash-4.3$ cat test.s .section ".text" .global main main: sethi %hi(0x2f626800), %l6 or %l6, 0x16e, %l6 ! 0x2f62696e sethi %hi(0x2f6b7000), %l7 or %l7, 0x368, %l7 ! 0x2f6b7368 and %sp, %sp, %o0 add %sp, 0xc, %o1 xor %o2, %o2, %o2 add %sp, 0x14, %sp std %l6, [ %sp + -20 ] clr [ %sp + -12 ] st %sp, [ %sp + -8 ] clr [ %sp + -4 ] mov 0x3b, %g1 ta 8 xor %o7, %o7, %o0 mov 1, %g1 ta 8 ``` ``` -bash-4.3$ gcc test.s -o test -bash-4.3$ ./test $ echo HELLO HELLO $ exit ``` As you can see the program works when ran directly from the shell, but when single-stepping in gdb, a SIGILL (illegal instruction) trap occurs ``` -bash-4.3$ gdb test GNU gdb (GDB) 7.4.1 [...] (gdb) disas main Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0001061c <+0>: sethi %hi(0x2f626800), %l6 0x00010620 <+4>: or %l6, 0x16e, %l6 ! 0x2f62696e 0x00010624 <+8>: sethi %hi(0x2f6b7000), %l7 0x00010628 <+12>: or %l7, 0x368, %l7 ! 0x2f6b7368 0x0001062c <+16>: and %sp, %sp, %o0 0x00010630 <+20>: add %sp, 0xc, %o1 0x00010634 <+24>: xor %o2, %o2, %o2 0x00010638 <+28>: add %sp, 0x14, %sp 0x0001063c <+32>: std %l6, [ %sp + -20 ] 0x00010640 <+36>: clr [ %sp + -12 ] 0x00010644 <+40>: st %sp, [ %sp + -8 ] 0x00010648 <+44>: clr [ %sp + -4 ] 0x0001064c <+48>: mov 0x3b, %g1 0x00010650 <+52>: ta 8 0x00010654 <+56>: xor %o7, %o7, %o0 0x00010658 <+60>: mov 1, %g1 0x0001065c <+64>: ta 8 End of assembler dump.

On mdb, instead of single-stepping into a SIGILL, everything goes unresponsive after stepping the `std` instruction. Then I have to kill mdb.
