Fix up more fallout form alpha signal cleanups

2010-09-30T15:37:38+00:00

Commit c52c2ddc1dfa ("alpha: switch osf_sigprocmask() to use of
sigprocmask()") had several problems.  The more obvious compile issues
got fixed in commit 0f44fbd297e1 ("alpha: fix compile problem in
arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c"), but it also caused a regression.

Since _BLOCKABLE is already the set of signals that can be blocked, the
code should do "newmask & _BLOCKABLE" rather than inverting _BLOCKABLE
before masking.

alpha: fix compile problem in arch/alpha/kernel/signal.c

2010-09-28T20:26:57+00:00

Tssk.  Apparently Al hadn't checked commit c52c2ddc1dfa ("alpha: switch
osf_sigprocmask() to use of sigprocmask()") at all. It doesn't compile.

Fixed as per suggestions from Michael Cree.

alpha: fix hae_cache race in RESTORE_ALL

2010-09-25T21:38:13+00:00

We want interrupts disabled on all paths leading to RESTORE_ALL;
otherwise, we are risking an IRQ coming between the updates of
alpha_mv->hae_cache and *alpha_mv->hae_register and set_hae()
within the IRQ getting badly confused.

RESTORE_ALL used to play with disabling IRQ itself, but that got
removed back in 2002, without making sure we had them disabled
on all paths.  It's cheaper to make sure we have them disabled than
to revert to original variant...

Remove the detritus left from that commit back in 2002; we used to
need a reload of $0 and $1 since swpipl would change those, but
doing that had become pointless when we stopped doing swpipl in
there...

alpha: deal with multiple simultaneously pending signals

2010-09-19T03:08:29+00:00

Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending.  It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them.  We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well.  If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again.  On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.

It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart.  Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...

Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.
	#include 
	#include 
	int had1, had2;
	void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
	void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
	main()
	{
		sigset_t set1, set2;
		sigemptyset(&set1);
		sigemptyset(&set2);
		sigaddset(&set2, 1);
		sigaddset(&set2, 2);
		signal(1, f1);
		signal(2, f2);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
		raise(1);
		raise(2);
		sigsuspend(&set1);
		printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2);
	}

alpha: fix a 14 years old bug in sigreturn tracing

2010-09-19T03:08:28+00:00

The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.

What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart).  That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall.  And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.

So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls.  And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
	#include 
	#include 
	void f(int sig) {}
	main()
	{
		signal(SIGHUP, f);
		raise(SIGHUP);
		write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
	}
and watch the show.  The
	close(1)                                = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).

The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value.  Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return.  Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check.  The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

alpha: unb0rk sigsuspend() and rt_sigsuspend()

2010-09-19T03:08:28+00:00

Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value.  Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.

Testcase:

	#include 
	#define _GNU_SOURCE
	#include 
	#include 

	main()
	{
		sigset_t mask;
		sigemptyset(&mask);
		sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
		sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
		kill(0, SIGCONT);
		syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
	}

results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...

Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.
