I am running a program which needs to determine whether a memory
access attempt is read or write. This is intended to be achieved by a
SIGSEGV handler which gets the program counter by getting:
pc = ucontext_t.mcontext_t.mc_gregs[MC_PC]
Then I tried to get the instruction by dereferencing the pc and
bit-test the instruction to get the memory.
Here is the source code for the program:
#include <errno.h>
#if 0
#include <siginfo.h>
#endif
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ucontext.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define is_load_or_store(inst) \
(((inst) >> 30) == 3)
#define is_store(inst) \
(is_load_or_store(inst) && \
((0xC0F0 >> (((inst) >> 19) & 0xF)) & 1) != 0)
static void my_segv_action(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *dummy) {
ucontext_t *uc = dummy;
#if 0
greg_t pc = uc->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_PC];
#endif
mc_greg_t pc = uc->uc_mcontext.mc_gregs[MC_PC];
unsigned long inst = *(unsigned long const *)pc;
if (is_load_or_store(inst)) {
if (is_store(inst)) {
write(2, "It is a store.\n", 15);
} else {
write(2, "It is a load.\n", 14);
}
} else {
write(2, "It is neither.\n", 15);
}
fprintf(stderr, "Address = %p, instruction = %08x\n", pc, inst);
#if 0
psiginfo(info, "my_segv_action");
#endif
abort();
}
int main(void) {
struct sigaction New_Action;
struct sigaction Old_Action;
char *p = 0;
New_Action.sa_handler = 0;
New_Action.sa_sigaction = my_segv_action;
(void)sigemptyset(&New_Action.sa_mask);
New_Action.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO | SA_RESETHAND;
#if 1
if (sigaction(SIGSEGV, &New_Action, &Old_Action) != 0) {
perror("sigaction");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
#endif
(*p) = 77; /* write attempt */
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
However in the SIGSEGV handler, gdb tells me that
uc->uc_mcontext.mc_gregs[MC_PC] is 0 (MC_PC is 1)
How can I get the program counter which points to the instruction that
causes the write-segmentation fault under GNU/Linux SPARC64?
Thanks!
