only use exceptions for code in the .text section. Any other section
will cause the exception table to not be sorted correctly, and the
exceptions will fail.
+
+Things changed when 64-bit support was added to x86 Linux. Rather than
+double the size of the exception table by expanding the two entries
+from 32-bits to 64 bits, a clever trick was used to store addresses
+as relative offsets from the table itself. The assembly code changed
+from:
+ .long 1b,3b
+to:
+ .long (from) - .
+ .long (to) - .
+
+and the C-code that uses these values converts back to absolute addresses
+like this:
+
+ ex_insn_addr(const struct exception_table_entry *x)
+ {
+ return (unsigned long)&x->insn + x->insn;
+ }
+
+In v4.6 the exception table entry was expanded with a new field "handler".
+This is also 32-bits wide and contains a third relative function
+pointer which points to one of:
+
+1) int ex_handler_default(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup)
+ This is legacy case that just jumps to the fixup code
+2) int ex_handler_fault(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup)
+ This case provides the fault number of the trap that occurred at
+ entry->insn. It is used to distinguish page faults from machine
+ check.
+3) int ex_handler_ext(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup)
+ This case is used for uaccess_err ... we need to set a flag
+ in the task structure. Before the handler functions existed this
+ case was handled by adding a large offset to the fixup to tag
+ it as special.
+More functions can easily be added.
