[LTP] [PATCH v3] openposix: timer_*/speculative: Don't pass a stack pointer as timerid

[Avinesh Kumar via ltp <ltp@lists.linux.it>]

From: Avinesh Kumar <avinesh.kumar@suse.com>

timer_delete/speculative/5-1, timer_getoverrun/speculative/6-1,
timer_gettime/speculative/6-1, and timer_settime/speculative/12-1 all
construct an invalid timerid from the address of a local variable:

  int tval = BOGUSTIMERID;
  tid = (timer_t) & tval;

glibc's timer_t is overloadedp[0]: for !SIGEV_THREAD timers it is
the kernel-assined timer ID, while for SIGEV_THREAD timers it is a
tagged pointer into glibc's own internal state. Before issuing any
syscall, timerid_to_kernel_timer() picks between the two using only
the sign bit of the value:

  if (timer_is_sigev_thread (timerid))
    return timerid_to_timer (timerid)->ktimerid;
  else
    return (kernel_timer_t) ((uintptr_t) timerid);

On i586, an ordinary stack address can have its sign bit set,
so glibc mistakes &tval for a tagged pointer, derives an unrelated,
fabricated address from it via a bit shift, and dereferences it -
crashing inside libc before the kernel is ever reached:

  timer_delete_sp[22499]: segfault at 7f4982f0 ip b7e07824 sp bfa4c140

A small integer value like the ones we use for bogus IDs in these tests
will never have its sign bit set on any architecture, so it will always
take the safe "just an int" path and will be correctly rejected by the
kernel's own timer lookup with a genuine EINVAL.
