[PATCH v2 00/20] Fix handling of compat_siginfo_t

[PATCH v2 00/20] Fix handling of compat_siginfo_t

[Amanieu d'Antras]

The current handling of compat_siginfo_t is a mess: each architecture has its
own implementation, all of which are incorrect in different ways. This patch
series replaces all of the arch-specific versions with a single generic one that
is guaranteed to produce the same results as a 32-bit kernel.

Most architectures are able to use the generic compat_siginfo_t, except x86 and
MIPS. MIPS uses a slightly different compat_siginfo_t structure for ABI reasons
but can still use the generic copy_siginfo_{to,from}_user32. x86 can't use the
generic versions because it needs special handling for __SI_CHLD for x32 tasks.

One issue that isn't resolved in this series is sending signals between a 32-bit
process and 64-bit process. Sending a si_int will work correctly, but a si_ptr
value will likely get corrupted due to the different layouts of the 32-bit and
64-bit siginfo_t structures.

signalfd_copyinfo was also modified to properly generate data for compat tasks.
In particular the ssi_ptr and ssi_data members need to be sign-extended to 64
bits rather than zero-extended, since that is the behavior in 32-bit kernels.

This series has been tested on x86_64 and arm64.

Changes since v1:
- Properly copy padding bytes and avoid leaking uninitialized data to userspace
- Fixed compile errors on mips and powerpc
- Fixed some compiler warnings
- Fixed some formatting issues

[PATCH v2 02/20] compat: Add generic copy_siginfo_{to,from}_user32

[Amanieu d'Antras]

These routines try to match the behavior of native 32-bit kernels
as closely as possible. They will replace architecture-specific
versions that are missing support for some fields and have various
bugs that cause behavior to diverge from that of a 32-bit kernel.

The only problematic situation is when sending a si_ptr from a
32-bit process to a 64-bit process or vice-versa, but this has
never worked correctly in the past anyways.

One thing to note is that, because the size of the siginfo_t union
differs between 32-bit and 64-bit systems, we need to stash the
last 4 bytes of the union in the 4 bytes of padding between the
64-bit union and the initial 3 siginfo_t members.

This is so screwed up it's not even funny.

A 64-bit big-endian compat calls rt_sigqueueinfo.  It passes in (among
other things) a sigval_t.  The kernel can choose to interpret it as a
pointer (call it p) or an integer (call it i).  Then (unsigned long)p
= (i<<32) | [something].  If the number was an integer to begin with
*and* user code zeroed out the mess first, then [something] will be 0.
Regardless, p != i unless they're both zero.

If the result gets delivered to a signalfd, then it's plausible that
everything could work.  If it gets delivered to a 64-bit siginfo, then
all is well because it's in exactly the same screwed up state it was
in when the signal gets sent.

If, however, it's delivered to a compat task, wtf is the kernel
supposed to do?  We're effectively supposed to convert a 64-bit
sigval_t to a 32-bit sigval_t.  On a little-endian architecture, we
can fudge it because it doesn't really matter whether we consider the
pointer or the int to be authoritative.  I think that, on big-endian,
we're screwed.

BTW, x86 has its own set of screwups here.  Somehow cr2 and error_code
ended up as part of ucontext instead of siginfo, which makes

Agreed,

I always thought that the kernel should not interpret it at all. And indeed,
copy_siginfo_to_user() does

	if (from->si_code < 0)
		return __copy_to_user(to, from, sizeof(siginfo_t))

probably copy_siginfo_to_user32() should do something similar, at least
it should not truncate ->si_code it it is less than zero.

Not sure what signalfd_copyinfo() should do.

But perhaps I was wrong, I failed to find man sigqueueinfo, and man
sigqueue() documents that it passes sigval_t.

Yes, and probably ->ip should have been the part of siginfo too. Say,
if you get SIGBUS you can't trust sc->ip if another signal was dequeued
before SIGBUS, in this case sc->ip will point to the handler of that
another signal. That is why we have SYNCHRONOUS_MASK and it helps, but
still this doesn't look nice.
