I am seeing stack corruption running a Cortex M4 that seems to be related to interrupting multicycle instructions.
The interrupt occurs during a STMDB sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, lr}
The ICI bits at the time of the interrupt equal 7. This means that the STM was partially completed, and should be resumed starting at r7.
However, if I look at the stack at the time of the interrupt, I see 4 words were written by the interrupted STM, namely r4, r5, r6, and r7. This means that
r7 will be written again when the processor resumes the STMDB instruction.
This does not happen all the time. But it forces me to disable interruption of multicycle instructions.
You must ensure that if r4, r5,.., r11 are modified by the exception handler, they should be stacked at the beginning of this handler and de-stacked at the end of it, because they are not automatically saved by the processor.
As in your case r7 has been altered by the exception handler, the value that will be stacked is the new (wrong) r7. But the problem is not limited to multiple Load/Store instructions, it will also happen with any instruction which uses r7 after the exception.
You should re-write the exception handler and be sure to restore r4,..,r9 to their original values before leaving the handler.
Interrupt handler does not modify r4-r11. r7 has not been modified by the exception handler.
