signal: Add restore_user_sigmask()

2018-12-06T16:22:53+00:00

Refactor the logic to restore the sigmask before the syscall
returns into an api.
This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the
sigmask and expect the current->sigmask to be changed during
the execution and restored after the execution of the syscall.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll
and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat
versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to
be replicated otherwise.

signal: Add set_user_sigmask()

2018-12-06T16:22:38+00:00

Refactor reading sigset from userspace and updating sigmask
into an api.

This is useful for versions of syscalls that pass in the
sigmask and expect the current->sigmask to be changed during,
and restored after, the execution of the syscall.

With the advent of new y2038 syscalls in the subsequent patches,
we add two more new versions of the syscalls (for pselect, ppoll,
and io_pgetevents) in addition to the existing native and compat
versions. Adding such an api reduces the logic that would need to
be replicated otherwise.

Note that the calls to sigprocmask() ignored the return value
from the api as the function only returns an error on an invalid
first argument that is hardcoded at these call sites.
The updated logic uses set_current_blocked() instead.

include/linux/signal.h: mark expected switch fall-throughs

2018-10-31T15:54:14+00:00

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases where
we are expecting to fall through.

signal: Guard against negative signal numbers in copy_siginfo_from_user32

2018-10-11T01:34:14+00:00

While fixing an out of bounds array access in known_siginfo_layout
reported by the kernel test robot it became apparent that the same bug
exists in siginfo_layout and affects copy_siginfo_from_user32.

The straight forward fix that makes guards against making this mistake
in the future and should keep the code size small is to just take an
unsigned signal number instead of a signed signal number, as I did to
fix known_siginfo_layout.

signal: Use a smaller struct siginfo in the kernel

2018-10-03T14:50:39+00:00

We reserve 128 bytes for struct siginfo but only use about 48 bytes on
64bit and 32 bytes on 32bit.  Someday we might use more but it is unlikely
to be anytime soon.

Userspace seems content with just enough bytes of siginfo to implement
sigqueue.  Or in the case of checkpoint/restart reinjecting signals
the kernel has sent.

Reducing the stack footprint and the work to copy siginfo around from
2 cachelines to 1 cachelines seems worth doing even if I don't have
benchmarks to show a performance difference.

signal: Distinguish between kernel_siginfo and siginfo

2018-10-03T14:47:43+00:00

Linus recently observed that if we did not worry about the padding
member in struct siginfo it is only about 48 bytes, and 48 bytes is
much nicer than 128 bytes for allocating on the stack and copying
around in the kernel.

The obvious thing of only adding the padding when userspace is
including siginfo.h won't work as there are sigframe definitions in
the kernel that embed struct siginfo.

So split siginfo in two; kernel_siginfo and siginfo.  Keeping the
traditional name for the userspace definition.  While the version that
is used internally to the kernel and ultimately will not be padded to
128 bytes is called kernel_siginfo.

The definition of struct kernel_siginfo I have put in include/signal_types.h

A set of buildtime checks has been added to verify the two structures have
the same field offsets.

To make it easy to verify the change kernel_siginfo retains the same
size as siginfo.  The reduction in size comes in a following change.

signal: Introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it's return value

2018-10-03T14:47:15+00:00

In preparation for using a smaller version of siginfo in the kernel
introduce copy_siginfo_from_user and use it when siginfo is copied from
userspace.

Make the pattern for using copy_siginfo_from_user and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 to capture the return value and return that
value on error.

This is a necessary prerequisite for using a smaller siginfo
in the kernel than the kernel exports to userspace.

signal: make get_signal() return bool

make get_signal() already behaves like a boolean function.  Let's actually
declare it as such too.
