From b80328be53c215346b153769267b38f531d89b4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 10:37:40 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] signal/metag: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI. Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result hat uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr field by accident but certainly not by design. Making this a very flakey implementation. Utilizing FPE_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will reliably be copied. Possible ABI fixes includee: - Send the signal without siginfo - Don't generate a signal - Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code - Don't handle cases which can't happen Cc: James Hogan Cc: linux-metag@vger.kernel.org Ref: ac919f0883e5 ("metag: Traps") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
