Linux exception table机制

概述

---

简单来说，exception table用于截获一些异常，并且针对该异常做一些修正。

一个简单的例子

---

先来看一段调用逻辑及代码片段：

futex_init
   futex_detect_cmpxchg();
      cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(&curval, NULL, 0, 0)
         futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(curval, uaddr, uval, newval);

ARM64平台：

static inline int
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(u32 *uval, u32 __user *uaddr,
			      u32 oldval, u32 newval)
{
	int ret = 0;
	u32 val, tmp;

	if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, uaddr, sizeof(u32)))
		return -EFAULT;

	asm volatile("// futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic\n"
ALTERNATIVE("nop", SET_PSTATE_PAN(0), ARM64_HAS_PAN, CONFIG_ARM64_PAN)
