Subject: [PATCH RESEND] exec: don't force_sigsegv processes with a pending fatal signal
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 17:56:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180731005615.GA2911@visor> (raw)
We were seeing unexplained segfaults in coreutils processes and other
basic utilities that we tracked down to binfmt_elf failing to load
segments for ld.so. Digging further, the actual problem seems to occur
when a process gets sigkilled while it is still being loaded by the
kernel. In our case when _do_page_fault goes for a retry it will return
early as it first checks for fatal_signal_pending(), so load_elf_interp
also returns with error and as a result search_binary_handler will
force_sigsegv() which is pretty confusing as nothing actually failed
here.
Fixes: 19d860a140be ("handle suicide on late failure exits in execve() in search_binary_handler()")
