[PATCH 4/4] UML - Fix FP register corruption
From: Jeff Dike
Date: Tue Feb 12 2008 - 13:58:31 EST
Commit ee3d9bd4de1ed93d2a7ee41c331ed30a1c7b8acd, while greatly
simplifying the kernel SIGSEGV handler that runs in the process
address space, introduced a bug which corrupts FP state in the
process.
Previously, the SIGSEGV handler called the sigreturn system call by
hand - it couldn't return through the restorer provided to it because
that could try to call the libc restorer which likely wouldn't exist
in the process address space. So, it blocked off some signals,
including SIGUSR1, on entry to the SIGSEGV handler, queued a SIGUSR1
to itself, and invoked sigreturn. The SIGUSR1 was delivered, and was
visible to the UML kernel after sigreturn finished.
The commit eliminated the signal masking and the call to sigreturn.
The handler simply hits itself with a SIGTRAP to let the UML kernel
know that it is finished. UML then restores the process registers,
which effectively longjmps the process out of the signal handler,
skipping sigreturn's restoring of register state and the signal mask.
The bug is that the host apparently sets used_fp to 0 when it saves
the process FP state in the sigcontext on the process signal stack.
Thus, when the process is longjmped out of the handler, its FP state
is corrupt because it wasn't saved on the context switch to the UML
kernel.
This manifested itself as sleep hanging. For some reason, sleep uses
floating point in order to calculate the sleep interval. When a page
fault corrupts its FP state, it is faked into essentially sleeping
forever.
This patch saves the FP state before entering the SIGSEGV handler and
restores it afterwards.
