The question is where the address came from.
It is not anly NULL pointer - is LTP tests are some fake addresses. From my tests I see that I am not able to access place till 1000 0000 in dec. Bad address come from tests to test it.
Look at http://developer.petalogix.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ltp-microblaze.git;a=commitdiff;h=45f4cd783ce8b94f1267bb87c0c46e8536f62eca
There are three affected tests and my quick fixes which I am trying to solve now.

I can confirm it - I moved it and rebuild toolchain.

ok - that mean that problem could be in bad fixup table?

We don't have gdb in place.
The problem should come from get_user macro. net/socket.c:212 I was looking for it in the morning. I am checking it again.
Thanks, Michal
int move_addr_to_user(struct sockaddr *kaddr, int klen, void __user *uaddr, int __user *ulen) { int err; int len;
err = get_user(len, ulen); if (err) return err;
