Hello,
  Everyone
    Nearly, I'm working on a sparc64 machine with linux-2.6.32 (32 cores, SMP) ,64bit kernel and userspace is 32bit.
Â
   when I run LTP test case with command :"./kill10 -c100 -g 1 -n
1", It will trap in an infinite page_fault  loop occasionally. andÂ
one of the kill10 process will use 100% CPU . (easy to repeat, just
run command again and again)
    After some debug, I find :
   1) the fault address is the same, and always at kill10's user-stack, for example "0xffb0b470".
 Â
  2) the fault happend when kill10 handle signal at put_user() ,
code path: arch/sparc/kernel/signal32.c: setup_frame32()Â -->
put_user().
   3) The first fault is handled by do_wp_page()
because of COW, and then do_wp_page() found PageAnon(old_page) then
reuse old_page.
 Â
 4) then go into infinite loop fault with fault_code 2 (D-TLB
miss), and handled by handle_pte_fault() out at flush_tlb_page() which
has a comment :
           /*
            * This is needed only for protection faults but the arch code
            * is not yet telling us if this is a protection fault or not.
            * This still avoids useless tlb flushes for .text page faults
            * with threads.
            */
              if (flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE)
                   flush_tlb_page(vma, address);
   I'v also tested with linux-3.10, and almost same result.
 Â
 I know sparc has software tlb process, In the function do_wp_page(),
it will call flush_tlb_page() and update_mmu_cache() , but It seemsÂ
no effect, just  D-TLB miss infinitely at same address
