commit 653d48b22166db2d8b1515ebe6f9f0f7c95dfc86 upstream.

If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered
when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for
the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler),
we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one
insn prior to where we ought to return.  If r0 happens to contain -513
(-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart
syscall song and dance.

Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and
very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland
code...

The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper,
i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers,
suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys.
They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway.

Testcase:
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
	#include &lt;errno.h&gt;

	void f(int n)
	{
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"ldr r0, [%0]\n"
			"b 1f\n"
			"b 2f\n"
			"1:b .\n"
			"2:\n" : : "r"(&amp;n));
	}

	void handler1(int sig) { }
	void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); }
	void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); }

	main()
	{
		struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2};
		struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} };
		struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} };

		signal(1, handler1);

		sigemptyset(&amp;s.sa_mask);
		sigaddset(&amp;s.sa_mask, 1);
		sigaction(SIGALRM, &amp;s, NULL);

		signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3);

		setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &amp;t1, NULL);
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &amp;t2, NULL);

		f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */

		write(1, "buggered\n", 9);
		return 1;
	}

<title>ARM: 5727/1: Pass IFSR register to do_PrefetchAbort()</title>

<content type='text'>
Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to
provide status information about the last insturction fault. It
needed for proper prefetch abort handling.

Now we have three prefetch abort model:

  * legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
    IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
    status for them to generalize code;
  * ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
  * ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

Commit 181f817eaaca4c1f introduced some new code to entry-common.S
Sadly, this new code uses 'bx' instruction which is available only on
ARMv5 and higher CPUs. This causes following compilation errors when
building kernel for StrongARM (ARMv4):

arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:129: Error: selected processor does not
 support `bx ip'
arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S:138: Error: selected processor does not
 support `bx ip'

Fix these errors by using 'mov pc' instead of 'bx'.

Implement TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for most of those architectures in which isn't yet
available, and, whilst we're at it, have it call the appropriate tracehook.

After this patch, blackfin, m68k* and xtensa still lack support and need
alteration of assembly code to make it work.

Resume notification can then be used (by a later patch) to install a new
session keyring on the parent of a process.

<id>369842658a36bcea28ecb643ba4bdb53919330dd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.

Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.

The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:

In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask,
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
  ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
  use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
  parameter is always &amp;current-&gt;blocked so need not be passed,
  also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()

In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()

In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
  default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
  TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
  when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK

In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted

So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
  which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
  flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
  not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current-&gt;saved_sigmask
  and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
  generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
  parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
  and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
  + get oldset from current-&gt;saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
    is set
  + if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
  + if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
    clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.
