>Description:
Kernel longjmp(9) is supposed to make setjmp(9) return 1 -- it doesn't take a second argument for the return value. But the vax code does this:
276 _C_LABEL(longjmp):.word 0
277 movl 4(%ap), %r1
278 movl 8(%ap), %r0
279 movl (%r1), %ap
280 movl 4(%r1), %fp
281 movl 12(%r1), %sp
282 jmp *8(%r1)
https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/arch/vax/vax/subr.S?r=1.43#276
That is, it takes 8(%ap), which would hold the second argument if there were two arguments, and returns it. Since there are not two arguments, it just returns stack garbage -- which might be zero.
>How-To-Repeat:
code inspection
mess with ddb, probably
>Fix:
Change
movl 8(%ap), %r0
to however you spell `load immediate 1 into %r0' in vaxlish.
