Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] make sigaltstack() compatible with swapcontext()
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2016 22:10:00 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56AE5C08.6010403@list.ru> (raw)
The following patches add the self-test for
sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE) inside the signal handler,
and allow an app to temporarily disable and re-enable
the sigaltstack within a sighandler.
This is needed to make sigaltstack() compatible with
swapcontext(): before using swapcontext() inside
the sighandler, the sigaltstack should be disabled, or
the stack will be corrupted by the subsequent signals.
v2: avoid duplicating the "!sigstack" check in get_sigframe()
as requested by Andy Lutomirski.
