Sure.

This would be clearer if it said more positiviely what the relationship
between these things is actually expected to be and how they're tested.
Right now it's a bit hard to tell what the test is actually verifying.


I thought I had described that quite well in the code comments.

Anyways, I shall incorporate some detail into the initial test

description too.


+void handler_verify_ucontext(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *uc)
+{
+ int ret;
+
+ /* Kernel dumps ucontext with USR2 blocked */
+ ret = sigismember(&(((ucontext_t *)uc)->uc_sigmask), SIGUSR2);
+ ksft_test_result(ret == 1, "USR2 in ucontext\n");
"USR2 blocked in ucontext".

+
+ raise(SIGUSR2);
+}
A comment explaining that we're verifying that the signal is blocked
might be good (I think that's what this is doing?). We're also not
checking the return value of raise() anywhere in the program, this would
be a useful diagnostic.


Sure.


+ /* SEGV blocked during handler execution, delivered on return */
+ raise(SIGPIPE);
+ ksft_print_msg("SEGV bypassed successfully\n");
SIGPIPE or SIGEGV?

+ /* SIGPIPE has been blocked in sa_mask, but ucontext is invariant */
+ ret = sigismember(&(((ucontext_t *)uc)->uc_sigmask), SIGPIPE);
+ ksft_test_result(ret == 0, "USR1 not in ucontext\n");
The relationship between the comment and test are not clear here, nor is
that between the sigismembber() call and the test name we print?

+ /* SIGUSR1 has been blocked, but ucontext is invariant */
+ ret = sigismember(&(((ucontext_t *)uc)->uc_sigmask), SIGUSR1);
+ ksft_test_result(ret == 0, "SEGV not in ucontext\n");
Similarly here.

+ /* add SEGV to blocked mask */
+ if (sigemptyset(&act.sa_mask) || sigaddset(&act.sa_mask, SIGPIPE)
+ || (sigismember(&act.sa_mask, SIGPIPE) != 1))
+ ksft_exit_fail_msg("Cannot add SEGV to blocked mask\n");
SIGPIPE vs SIGSEGV.


Ah sorry, I was testing out something else, and then I

did something and it partially changed it back to SEGV.

I shall revert all mentions of PIPE with SEGV. Please read

all mentions of pipe, or PIPE, as segv and SEGV.
