    signal/metag: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE · b80328be
    Eric W. Biederman 提交于
    Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
    This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix and common sense requires
    that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code.  As such this use of 0
    for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.
    
    Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
    value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
    hat uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
    field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
    flakey implementation.
    
    Utilizing FPE_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the
    appropriate fields will reliably be copied.
    
    Possible ABI fixes includee:
      - Send the signal without siginfo
      - Don't generate a signal
      - Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
      - Don't handle cases which can't happen
