Subject: [PATCH v2] compat: Fix RT signal mask corruption via sigprocmask
Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 10:04:36 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FABBCE4.3050503@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+55aFz-z6F=ynvTZp2xrSyq+Ar7huT92_S9e8Wuxepyppq5ZQ@mail.gmail.com>
compat_sys_sigprocmask reads a smaller signal mask from userspace than
sigprogmask accepts for setting. So the high word of blocked.sig[0] will
be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal.
This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext.
glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of
rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal
unblocking this way.
As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat
version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge
of the existing blocked set with the new one provided on SIG_SETMASK.
