    rseq: Avoid infinite recursion when delivering SIGSEGV · 784e0300
    Will Deacon 提交于
    When delivering a signal to a task that is using rseq, we call into
    __rseq_handle_notify_resume() so that the registers pushed in the
    sigframe are updated to reflect the state of the restartable sequence
    (for example, ensuring that the signal returns to the abort handler if
    necessary).
    
    However, if the rseq management fails due to an unrecoverable fault when
    accessing userspace or certain combinations of RSEQ_CS_* flags, then we
    will attempt to deliver a SIGSEGV. This has the potential for infinite
    recursion if the rseq code continuously fails on signal delivery.
    
    Avoid this problem by using force_sigsegv() instead of force_sig(), which
    is explicitly designed to reset the SEGV handler to SIG_DFL in the case
    of a recursive fault. In doing so, remove rseq_signal_deliver() from the
    internal rseq API and have an optional struct ksignal * parameter to
    rseq_handle_notify_resume() instead.
