Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] s390/signal: Fix incorrect return address in signal frame
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 15:34:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013133453.2288894-2-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013133453.2288894-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
exit_to_user_mode_loop() can call arch_do_signal_or_restart() multiple
times when signals are pending.
If the first call set up a vDSO system call restart by saving the real
user return address and adjusting psw.addr so it points to the vDSO stub,
a second call builds the signal frame with the wrong return address.
Restore psw.addr from arch_data, and set the return code to -EINTR before
building the signal frame.
This requires restart_block.arch_data to be properly initialized for all
tasks. Move the initialization in copy_thread() in front of the kernel
thread check, so that it also covers kernel threads and their children
(PID 1, usermode helpers). Only PID 0 is left uninitialized, since it
never returns to user space.
Fixes: df29a7440c4b ("s390/signal: switch to using vdso for sigreturn and syscall restart")
