Ok, lets see what we have here. %ebx is NULL at the point the code fails.
(the <------ below at c01997c8)
%ebx is the 'm' pointer.
if (m->m_len < sizeof(struct arphdr) &&
:0xc0199794 <arpintr+104>: cmpl $0x7,0xc(%ebx)
:0xc0199798 <arpintr+108>: ja 0xc01997c8 <arpintr+156>
:0xc019979a <arpintr+110>: pushl $0x8
:0xc019979c <arpintr+112>: pushl %ebx
(m = m_pullup(m, sizeof(struct arphdr)) == NULL)) {
:0xc019979d <arpintr+113>: call 0xc016e4b8 <m_pullup>
:0xc01997a2 <arpintr+118>: addl $0x8,%esp
:0xc01997a5 <arpintr+121>: testl %eax,%eax
:0xc01997a7 <arpintr+123>: sete %al
:0xc01997aa <arpintr+126>: movzbl %al,%ebx BING BING BING!
:0xc01997ad <arpintr+129>: testl %ebx,%ebx
The compiler is screwed. The call to m_pullup returns the new 'm'
pointer in %eax. This should be copied to %ebx verbatim.
What the frig is this 'sete' instruction? And the movzbl ? Move byte
to long?
No wonder %ebx is screwed! The compiler is producing shit for code!
Can one of the compiler gurus take a look at this?
Jim, what C flags is make using when you compile up your kernel? Are
you trying to do weird optimizations? I don't see anything in your
kernel config, do you have anything weird in your /etc/make.conf[.local]?
