Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Memory corruption caused by failure to notice architecture change.
Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:24:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5228941F.8080601@broadcom.com> (raw)
Turns out that in a particular use case insight does not spot a change
of architecture, and then starts corrupting memory by accessing off the
end of the register cache.
I've got two patches,
[1/2] - Adds an assert that would detect this bug.
[2/2] - My attempt at a fix. I've only had a quick look over the tcl
code, (and I'm no tcl expert), so I suspect some feedback on this one.
Cheers,
Andrew
