Bug ID: 106635 Summary: AARCH64 STUR instruction causes bus error Product: gcc Version: 11.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: xgchenshy at 126 dot com Target Milestone: --- Hi, We are using aarch64-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (version 11.2.1) to compile our userspace code with cortex A55 platform in linux environment, we met an bus error which causes the program to exit. with closer look, we found such STUR instruction causes this issue this is the cflags: CFLAGS = -fpic -Wall -ansi -std=c99 -Wno-variadic-macros -g -Werror -fPIC -shared -Wall -O2 -ggdb3 below is the C code: void CWLCollectReadRegData(u32* dst,u16 reg_start, u32 reg_length,u32* total_length, addr_t status_data_base_addr) { u32 data_length=0; { //opcode *dst++ = (OPCODE_RREG<<27)|(reg_length<<16)|(reg_start*4); data_length++; //data *dst++ = (u32)status_data_base_addr; <<----this line of code causes bus error data_length++; .... } below is the disassemble code: (gdb) disassemble CWLCollectReadRegData Dump of assembler code for function CWLCollectReadRegData: 0x0000000000000080 <+0>: ubfiz w1, w1, #2, #16 0x0000000000000084 <+4>: stur x4, [x0, #4] <<------this is the code that causes bus error 0x0000000000000088 <+8>: orr w2, w1, w2, lsl #16 0x000000000000008c <+12>: mov w1, #0xb0000000 // #-1342177280 0x0000000000000090 <+16>: orr w2, w2, w1 0x0000000000000094 <+20>: str w2, [x0] 0x0000000000000098 <+24>: str wzr, [x0, #12] 0x000000000000009c <+28>: mov w1, #0x4 // #4 0x00000000000000a0 <+32>: str w1, [x3] 0x00000000000000a4 <+36>: ret End of assembler dump. this line of code causes bus error. stur x4, [x0, #4] our program expects to write a 32 bit value to [x0,#4], but this instrunction writes a 64 bit value X4, this is already wrong. but STUR instrunction should support unaligned access, I also dont' quite know why the bus error happens. Thanks
