RTEMS LEON2 EDAC Trap Management

Hi all,

I'm working on an RTEMS application running on a LEON2 processor.
I have some issues in regard to the Double EDAC error trap (0x09) 
management.

I'm trying to validate that my application correctly manages EDAC errors 
by launching my application, breaking then generating an EDAC error and 
then resuming.
My application then detects that an error has hapened and launches the 
correct trap handler.

After the trap has been handled, we resume normal execution by executing 
the rett instruction (return from trap), with the address of the next 
instruction after the one that has been trapped.
Only that instead of continuing executing after the rett, the same 
instruction that triggered the first error triggers another error (0x11) 
which should be a correctable EDAC error.

This behavior then loops forever (Double EDAC than Single EDAC etc...) and 
after some time my application resets (I have approximatively 32'000 trap 
triggered for each one before it resets).

I've been looking around for help in the LEON "community" but I could not 
find much help. I know it is not necessarily RTEMS related but a colleague 
of mine which does the exact same thing on another project but only in C 
has no problem so I'm wondering what might be causing this.

For info here is my double edac trap handler.

static void BGD_trap_DE_handler(void) {
    {
        /*#[ operation BGD_trap_DE_handler() */
        volatile uint32*        failing_address;
        boolean accepted = FALSE;
 
        /* read Failure Address Register */
        asm("TEST_EDAC_DOUBLE_START:nop;");
        failing_address = *FAILAR;
        FIFO_edac_address [FIFO_edac_next] = (uint32)failing_address;
        FIFO_edac_double [FIFO_edac_next] = 1;
        FIFO_edac_nb = (FIFO_edac_nb & 0xF) + 1;
        /* Note: in case more than 16 errors occur during 1 second, the 16 
oldest will be lost. */
        FIFO_edac_next = (FIFO_edac_next+1) & 0xF;
 
        /* SYD MOD */
        if ((failing_address < START_EEPROM) || (failing_address >= 
0x80000000))
        {
            BGD_process_d_edac_sram();
        }
        else
        {
            BGD_process_d_edac_eeprom();
        }
        /* reset fail status register */
        *FAILSR = 0;
        *FAILAR = 0; 
 
        //BDT_abort_request (&accepted);
        /*#]*/ 
                asm("TEST_EDAC_DOUBLE_END:nop;"); 
    }
}

Here is a disassembly of the instruction that triggers the  Double EDAC 
Trap, which is correct:
 1046115464  40001400  cmp  %i0, 15                [00000ff1]
 1046115466  40001404  bgu  0x40001414             [00000000]
 1046115467  40001408  nop                         [00000000]
 1046115468  40001414  add  %fp, -20, %i5          [401e5f34]
 1046115473            ahb read,  mst=0, size=2    [401e5f34 40053854]
 1046115474  40001418  ld  [%i5], %i2              [40053854]
 1046115475  4000141c  add  %fp, -24, %i4          [401e5f30]
 1046115480            ahb read,  mst=0, size=2    [401e5f30 40100000]
 1046115481  40001420  ld  [%i4], %i1              [40100000]
 1046115482  40001424  mov  %i2, %i3               [40053854]
 1046115483  40001428  mov  %i1, %i0               [40100000]
 1046115491            ahb read,  mst=0, size=2    [40100000 a6102003]
 1046115492  4000142c  ld  [%i0], %i0              [trapped]

Here is the second trap triggered, which should not happen:
 1046117903  4002bdc8  mov  %l0, %psr              [000000c4]
 1046117904  4002bdcc  nop                         [00000000]
 1046117905  4002bdd0  nop                         [00000000]
 1046117906  4002bdd4  nop                         [00000000]
 1046117911            ahb read,  mst=0, size=2    [401e5e84 00000000]
 1046117912  4002bdd8  ld  [%g1 + 0x6c], %g1       [00000000]
 1046117913  4002bddc  jmp  %l1                    [4002bddc]
 1046117914  4002bde0  rett  %l2                   [40001430]
 1046117916  4000142c  ld  [%i0], %i0              [trapped]

I hope someone can help ;)
