Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] signal: Stop special casing TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME in siginfo_layout
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 10:59:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87muy48nqq.fsf_-_@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87604sa2fu.fsf_-_@xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Sun, 15 Apr 2018 10:56:21 -0500")


After more experience with the cases where no one the si_code of 0 is
used both as a signal specific si_code, and as SI_USER it appears that
no one cares about the signal specific si_code case and the good
solution is to just fix the architectures by using a different si_code.

In none of the conversations has anyone even suggested that anything
depends on the signal specific redefinition of SI_USER.

There are at least test cases that care when si_code as 0 does not work
as si_user.

So make things simple and keep the generic code from introducing
problems by removing the special casing of TRAP_FIXME and FPE_FIXME.
This will ensure the generic case of sending a signal with kill will
always set SI_USER and work.

The architecture specific, and signal specific overloads that set
si_code to 0 will now have problems with signalfd and the 32bit compat
versions of siginfo copying.  At least until they are fixed.
