Subject: [ 19/85] xen/x86: dont corrupt %eip when returning from a signal handler
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:05:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121026000033.050564844@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121026000031.107227138@linuxfoundation.org>

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

commit a349e23d1cf746f8bdc603dcc61fae9ee4a695f6 upstream.

In 32 bit guests, if a userspace process has %eax == -ERESTARTSYS
(-512) or -ERESTARTNOINTR (-513) when it is interrupted by an event
/and/ the process has a pending signal then %eip (and %eax) are
corrupted when returning to the main process after handling the
signal.  The application may then crash with SIGSEGV or a SIGILL or it
may have subtly incorrect behaviour (depending on what instruction it
returned to).

The occurs because handle_signal() is incorrectly thinking that there
is a system call that needs to restarted so it adjusts %eip and %eax
to re-execute the system call instruction (even though user space had
not done a system call).

If %eax == -514 (-ERESTARTNOHAND (-514) or -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
(-516) then handle_signal() only corrupted %eax (by setting it to
-EINTR).  This may cause the application to crash or have incorrect
behaviour.

handle_signal() assumes that regs->orig_ax >= 0 means a system call so
any kernel entry point that is not for a system call must push a
negative value for orig_ax.  For example, for physical interrupts on
bare metal the inverse of the vector is pushed and page_fault() sets
regs->orig_ax to -1, overwriting the hardware provided error code.

xen_hypervisor_callback() was incorrectly pushing 0 for orig_ax
instead of -1.

Classic Xen kernels pushed %eax which works as %eax cannot be both
non-negative and -RESTARTSYS (etc.), but using -1 is consistent with
other non-system call entry points and avoids some of the tests in
handle_signal().

There were similar bugs in xen_failsafe_callback() of both 32 and
64-bit guests. If the fault was corrected and the normal return path
was used then 0 was incorrectly pushed as the value for orig_ax.
