Subject: [PATCH 0/2] microblaze: fix signal-frame handling for NPTL
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:37:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1780587199.git.lordrasmus@gmail.com> (raw)
Two independent fixes to the microblaze signal-delivery path, both found
while bringing the uClibc-ng NPTL test suite up on microblazeel under
qemu-system (petalogix-s3adsp1800).
Patch 1 wires up sigaltstack(), which is currently routed to
sys_ni_syscall even though the signal code fully supports an alternate
stack - microblaze is the only architecture leaving it unimplemented.
Patch 2 reserves the ABI argument-home area at the top of the signal
frame. The MicroBlaze calling convention lets a handler store its
incoming register arguments into [r1+4]..[r1+28]; since r1 points at
struct rt_sigframe on entry, those stores land in siginfo/ucontext and
corrupt the signal state. An eight-word leading gap moves them into
scratch space.
Both were tested with the uClibc-ng NPTL tests; the affected tests
(tst-cancel20/21, tst-cancelx20/21, tst-signal6, tst-timer4/5,
tst-mqueue5) now pass. checkpatch --strict is clean and both apply to
current linux-next.
