Subject: [PATCH v12 42/45] KVM: selftests: Make TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS thread-safe
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 17:25:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830-gmem-inplace-conversion-v12-42-85e5fd25252a@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830-gmem-inplace-conversion-v12-0-85e5fd25252a@google.com>
From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>
The TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS macro is not thread-safe as it uses a global
sigjmp_buf and installs a global SIGBUS signal handler. If multiple threads
execute the macro concurrently, they will race on installing the signal
handler and stomp on other threads' jump buffers, leading to incorrect test
behavior.
Make TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS thread-safe with the following changes:
Share the KVM tests' global signal handler. sigaction() applies to all
threads; without sharing a global signal handler, one thread may have
removed the signal handler that another thread added, hence leading to
unexpected signals.
The alternative of layering signal handlers was considered, but calling
sigaction() within TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS() necessarily creates a race. To
avoid adding new setup and teardown routines to do sigaction() and keep
usage of TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS() simple, share the KVM tests' global signal
handler.
Opportunistically rename report_unexpected_signal to
catchall_signal_handler.
To continue to only expect SIGBUS within specific regions of code, use a
thread-specific variable, expecting_sigbus, to replace installing and
removing signal handlers.
Make the execution environment for the thread, sigjmp_buf, a
thread-specific variable.
As part of TEST_EXPECT_SIGBUS(), assert the prerequisite for this setup,
that the current signal handler is the catchall_signal_handler.
