Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 102/102] signal/arm: Document conflicts with SI_USER and SIGFPE
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 16:13:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180319161117.17833-102-alexander.levin@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180319161117.17833-1-alexander.levin@microsoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 7771c66457004977b616bab785209f49d164f527 ]

Setting si_code to 0 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.

Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
flakey implementation.

Utilizing FPE_FIXME, siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the
appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

Possible ABI fixes includee:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen
