Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Don't use SIGMINSTKSZ when enforcing alternative signal stack size for compat tasks
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 14:45:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1532526312-26993-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

Hi all,

The Debian folks have observed a failure in the 32-bit arm glibc testsuite
when running under a 64-bit kernel. They tracked this down to sigaltstack(2)
enforcing the alternative signal stack to be at least SIGMINSTKSZ bytes,
which is higher for native arm64 tasks than compat 32-bit tasks.

These patches resolve the issue by allowing an architecture to define
COMPAT_SIGMINSTKSZ for compat tasks, which is then used by the sigaltstack
checking code.

Feedback welcome,

Will
