SubjectRE: A bug about system call on ARM
Hi  Will,

Have you received the log files?

And is there someone looking at this issue now ?
This issue happened on Qcom Scorpoin CPUs,
And it just happened in our stability test occasionally .

If you have some patch for this issue,
I can do the test for it .

Thanks for your help very much !

Hi

This is kernel.log and the stack which is recovered by Trace32 tools.
Please have a look at it .

Thanks

Cheers for adding us to CC.

Do you have the panic log please? Also, which SoC are you using and how are you reproducing this?

Sounds like we might need some USER annotations around the instruction loads, but we should also rework the code so that we re-enable interrupts first.
