Subject: [PATCH 3/8] signal/sparc: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 07:39:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170630123906.8865-3-ebiederm@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87efu22set.fsf@xmission.com>

Setting si_code to __SI_FAULT 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.

This was introduced in 2.3.41 so this mess has had a long time for
people to be able to start depending on it.

As this bug has existed for 17 years already I don't know if it is
worth fixing.  It is definitely worth documenting what is going
on so that no one decides to copy this bad decision.
