dynamically allocate fpstate on the stack, instead of static allocation in the current sigframe layout on the user stack. This will allow the fpstate structure to grow in the future, which includes extended state information supporting xsave/xrstor. signal handlers will be able to access the fpstate pointer from the sigcontext structure asusual, with no change. For the non RT sigframe's (which are supported only for 32bit apps), current static fpstate layout in the sigframe will be unused(so that we don't change the extramask[] offset in the sigframe and thus prevent breaking app's which modify extramask[]).

Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

This unifies the treatment of TIF_SINGLESTEP on i386 and x86_64. The bit is now excluded from _TIF_WORK_MASK on i386 as it has been on x86_64. This means the do_notify_resume() path using it is never used, so TIF_SINGLESTEP is not cleared on returning to user mode. Both now leave TIF_SINGLESTEP set when returning to user, so that it's already set on an int $0x80 system call entry. This removes the need for testing TF on the system_call path. Doing it this way fixes the regression for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP into a sigreturn syscall, introduced by commit 1e2e99f0. The clear_TF_reenable case that sets TIF_SINGLESTEP can only happen on a non-exception kernel entry, i.e. sysenter/syscall instruction. That will always get to the syscall exit tracing path.

This lifts the code diddling the TF and DF bits for signal handler setup out of the several places copying the same code into the one place that calls them all. There is no change in what it does. I also separated the recently-added DF bit clearing from the TF diddling. The compiler turns them back into one instruction anyway. The tossing in of DF to the same line of code with no new comments was a bit more arcane than seems wise.

If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal handler. Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now. Background: Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled (the process just doesn't get told about it). Because it's in fact always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now. With the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space). The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been disabled when the process was exec'd. This patch fixes this not to use it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.)

The Linux kernel currently does not clear the direction flag before calling a signal handler, whereas the x86/x86-64 ABI requires that. Linux had this behavior/bug forever, but this becomes a real problem with gcc version 4.3, which assumes that the direction flag is correctly cleared at the entry of a function. This patches changes the setup_frame() functions to clear the direction before entering the signal handler.

And printing the offset into a mapping also always allows to find the correct fault point in a library even with randomized mappings. Previously there was no way to actually find the correct code address inside the randomized mapping. Relies on earlier patch to shorten the printk formats.

This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag TIF_FORCED_TF instead of the PT_DTRACE flag in task_struct.ptrace. This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field. This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register access code reliable when called from different contexts than a ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future. The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior.

cf http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/3/41 To summarize: on Linux, SA_ONSTACK decides whether you are already on the signal stack based on the value of the SP at the time of a signal. If you are not already inside the range, you are not "on the signal stack" and so the new signal handler frame starts over at the base of the signal stack. sigaltstack (and sigstack before it) was invented in BSD. There, the SA_ONSTACK behavior has always been different. It uses a kernel state flag to decide, rather than the SP value. When you first take an SA_ONSTACK signal and switch to the alternate signal stack, it sets the SS_ONSTACK flag in the thread's sigaltstack state in the kernel. Thereafter you are "on the signal stack" and don't switch SP before pushing a handler frame no matter what the SP value is. Only when you sigreturn from the original handler context do you clear the SS_ONSTACK flag so that a new handler frame will start over at the base of the alternate signal stack. The undesireable effect of the Linux behavior is that an overflow of the alternate signal stack can not only go undetected, but lead to a ring buffer effect of clobbering the original handler frame at the base of the signal stack for each successive signal that comes just after the overflow. This is what Shi Weihua's test case demonstrates. Normally this does not come up because of the signal mask, but the test case uses SA_NODEFER for its SIGSEGV handler. The other subtle part of the existing Linux semantics is that a simple longjmp out of a signal handler serves to take you off the signal stack in a safe and reliable fashion without having used sigreturn (nor having just returned from the handler normally, which means the same). After the longjmp (or even informal stack switching not via any proper libc or kernel interface), the alternate signal stack stands ready to be used again. A paranoid program would allocate a PROT_NONE red zone around its alternate signal stack. Then a small overflow would trigger a SIGSEGV in handler setup, and be fatal (core dump) whether or not SIGSEGV is blocked. As with thread stack red zones, that cannot catch all overflows (or underflows). e.g., a local array as large as page size allocated in a function called from a handler, but not actually touched before more calls push more stack, could cause an overflow that silently pushes into some unrelated allocated pages. The BSD behavior does not do anything in particular about overflow. But it does at least avoid the wraparound or "ring buffer effect", so you'll just get a straightforward all-out overflow down your address space past the low end of the alternate signal stack. I don't know what the BSD behavior is for longjmp out of an SA_ONSTACK handler. The POSIX wording relating to sigaltstack is pretty minimal. I don't think it speaks to this issue one way or another. (The program that overflows its stack is clearly in undefined behavior territory of one sort or another anyhow.) Given the longjmp issue and the potential for highly subtle complications in existing programs relying on this in arcane ways deep in their code, I am very dubious about changing the behavior to the BSD style persistent flag. I think Shi Weihua's patches have a similar effect by tracking the SP used in the last handler setup. I think it would be sensible for the signal handler setup code to detect when it would itself be causing a stack overflow. Maybe something like the following patch (untested). This issue exists in the same way on all machines, so ideally they would all do a similar check. When it's the handler function itself or its callees that cause the overflow, rather than the signal handler frame setup alone crossing the boundary, this still won't help. But I don't see any way to distinguish that from the valid longjmp case. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Use HR-timers (when available) to deliver an accurate preemption tick. The regular scheduler tick that runs at 1/HZ can be too coarse when nice level are used. The fairness system will still keep the cpu utilisation 'fair' by then delaying the task that got an excessive amount of CPU time but try to minimize this by delivering preemption points spot-on. The average frequency of this extra interrupt is sched_latency / nr_latency. Which need not be higher than 1/HZ, its just that the distribution within the sched_latency period is important.

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace) Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the following: main() { while (1) if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0; } This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this. Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old 'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.
