Subject: [PATCH v5 0/4] make sigaltstack() compatible with swapcontext()
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2016 19:39:40 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457368784-11090-1-git-send-email-stsp@list.ru> (raw)
The following patches make it possible to use swapcontext()
in a sighandler that works on sigaltstack.
The approach is inspired by Andy Lutomirski's suggestion that
sigaltstack should disarm itself after saving into uc_stack:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/594
I add the SS_AUTODISARM flag that does exactly that.
On sighandler exit, the sigaltstack is restored from uc_stack.
Another possible name could be SS_ONESHOT, but, since it gets
always re-enabled, I choose SS_AUTODISARM.
Change since v4:
- Implement this Andy Lutomirski's suggestion:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/6/158
that allows the run-time probing of the existence of the
flags added in the future.
[PATCH 1/4] [Cleanup] x86: signal: unify the sigaltstack check with
A clean-up patch that unifies x86's sigaltstack handling with
other arches.
[PATCH 2/4] sigaltstack: preparations for adding new SS_xxx flags
Andy's suggested changes
[PATCH 3/4] sigaltstack: implement SS_AUTODISARM flag
This patch implements SS_AUTODISARM flag
[PATCH 4/4] selftests: Add test for sigaltstack(SS_ONSTACK |
This patch adds the selftest code for new functionality
