In the case that the STKALIGN bit is set on Cortex M processors, on
entry to an exception - the processor can store an additional 4 bytes
of padding before regular stacking to achieve 8-byte alignment on
exception entry. In the case that this padding is present, the
processor will set bit (1 << 9) in the stacked xPSR register. Use the
new calculate_process_stack callback to take into account the xPSR
register and use it on the standard Cortex_M3 stacking.
Note: Change #2301 had some misinformation regarding the padding. On
Cortex-M the padding is stored BEFORE stacking so xPSR is always
available at a fixed offset.
Tested on a Cortex-M0+ (Atmel SAMR21) board which has STKALIGN fixed
to a '1' such that this alignment always occurs on non-aligned stacks.
Behavior of xPSR verified via the (bad-sorry) assembly program below by
setting a breakpoint on the SVC_Handler symbol. The first time
SVC_Handler is triggered the stack was 0x20000ff8, the second time
SVC_Handler is triggered the stack was 0x20000ffc. Note that in both
cases the interrupt handler gets 0x20000fd8 for a stack pointer.
GDB exerpt:
Breakpoint 1, 0x000040b6 in Reset_Handler ()
(gdb) hbreak SVC_Handler
Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0x40f8
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
@ first call - 0x2000fff8 -- should already be aligned
@ second call - 0x2000fffc -- should hit the alignment code
