signal: move the "sig < SIGRTMIN" check into siginmask(sig)

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

All the users of siginmask() must ensure that sig < SIGRTMIN.  sig_fatal()
doesn't and this is wrong:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/signal.c:911:6
	shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'long unsigned int'

the patch doesn't add the neccesary check to sig_fatal(), it moves the
check into siginmask() and updates other callers.

SIGNAL: Move generic copy_siginfo() to signal.h

2016-05-13T12:02:10+00:00

The generic copy_siginfo() is currently defined in
asm-generic/siginfo.h, after including uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h which
defines the generic struct siginfo. However this makes it awkward for an
architecture to use it if it has to define its own struct siginfo (e.g.
MIPS and potentially IA64), since it means that asm-generic/siginfo.h
can only be included after defining the arch-specific siginfo, which may
be problematic if the arch-specific definition needs definitions from
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h.

It is possible to work around this by first including
uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h to get the constants before defining the
arch-specific siginfo, and include asm-generic/siginfo.h after. However
uapi headers can't be included by other uapi headers, so that first
include has to be in an ifdef __kernel__, with the non __kernel__ case
including the non-UAPI header instead.

Instead of that mess, move the generic copy_siginfo() definition into
linux/signal.h, which allows an arch-specific uapi/asm/siginfo.h to
include asm-generic/siginfo.h and define the arch-specific siginfo, and
for the generic copy_siginfo() to see that arch-specific definition.

signals/sigaltstack: Implement SS_AUTODISARM flag

2016-05-03T06:37:59+00:00

This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with
SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags.

When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering
the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack.
When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by
uc_stack.

When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with
swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt
the state of the switched-away sighandler.

To detect the support of this functionality, one can do:

  err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM);
  if (err && errno == EINVAL)
	unsupported();

kernel/signal.c: unexport sigsuspend()

2015-11-21T00:17:32+00:00

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it
static do not pollute the global namespace.

But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux.  UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side.  Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()

It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries.  But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper.  Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side.  Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.

It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)

signal: use BUILD_BUG() instead of _NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size()

2014-10-14T00:18:20+00:00

Kill _NSIG_WORDS_is_unsupported_size(), use BUILD_BUG() instead.  This
simplifies the code, avoids the nested-externs warnings, and this way we
do not defer the problem to linker.

Also, fix the indentation in _SIG_SET_BINOP() and _SIG_SET_OP().

Note: this patch assumes that the code like "if (0) BUILD_BUG();" is
valid.  If not (say __compiletime_error() is not defined and thus
__compiletime_error_fallback() uses a negative array) we should fix
BUILD_BUG() and/or BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG().  This code should be fine by
definition, this is the documented purpose of BUILD_BUG().

signals: introduce kernel_sigaction()

2014-06-06T23:08:12+00:00

Now that allow_signal() is really trivial we can unify it with
disallow_signal().  Add the new helper, kernel_sigaction(), and
reimplement allow_signal/disallow_signal as a trivial wrappers.

This saves one EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the new helper can have more users.

signals: mv {dis,}allow_signal() from sched.h/exit.c to signal.[ch]

2014-06-06T23:08:11+00:00

Move the declaration/definition of allow_signal/disallow_signal to
signal.h/signal.c.  The new place is more logical and allows to use the
static helpers in signal.c (see the next changes).

While at it, make them return void and remove the valid_signal() check.
Nobody checks the returned value, and in-kernel users must not pass the
wrong signal number.
