The signal handler in the alignment handler self test has the ability
to jump over the instruction that triggered the signal. It does this
by incrementing the PT_NIP in the user context by 4. If it were a
prefixed instruction this will mean that the suffix is then executed
which is incorrect. Instead check if the major opcode indicates a
prefixed instruction (e.g. it is 1) and if so increment PT_NIP by 8.
If ISA v3.1 is not available treat it as a word instruction even if
the major opcode is 1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
