From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Helge Deller Subject: [PATCH] parisc: compat Fix siginfo_t -> compat_siginfo_t conversion on big endian Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:00:41 +0100 Message-ID: <20150315200041.GA10927@ls3530.box> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Catalin Marinas , Bamvor Jian Zhang To: linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org, James Bottomley , John David Anglin Return-path: List-ID: List-Id: linux-parisc.vger.kernel.org This patch is basically the same as commit 9d42d48 from Catalin Marinas but adopted to the parisc architecture. The native (64-bit) sigval_t union contains sival_int (32-bit) and sival_ptr (64-bit). When a compat application invokes a syscall that takes a sigval_t value (as part of a larger structure, e.g. compat_sys_mq_notify, compat_sys_timer_create), the compat_sigval_t union is converted to the native sigval_t with sival_int overlapping with either the least or the most significant half of sival_ptr, depending on endianness. When the corresponding signal is delivered to a compat application, on big endian the current (compat_uptr_t)sival_ptr cast always returns 0 since sival_int corresponds to the top part of sival_ptr. This patch fixes copy_siginfo_to_user32() so that sival_int is copied to the compat_siginfo_t structure.
