[PATCH 1/8] signal/alpha: Document a conflict with SI_USER for SIGTRAP

[PATCH 1/8] signal/alpha: Document a conflict with SI_USER for SIGTRAP

[Eric W. Biederman]

Setting si_code to __SI_FAULT 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.

Given that alpha is on it's last legs I don't know that it is worth
fixing this, but it is worth documenting what is going on so that
no one decides to copy this bad decision.

This was introduced during the 2.5 development cycle so this
mess has had a long time for people to be able to depend upon it.

The ABI was already broken, so IMHO I think it's better to somehow "fix"
it instead. Agreed, alpha and some other architectures are already aged,
but nevertheless most of them build in debian-ports.  Below is a
suggested fix which reuses/misuses other existing trap codes instead.

The conflict with SI_USER is real.  I don't know that we have any actual
applications that are suffering.

I simply don't have the architecture specific references handy to know
in which cases the oddities will happen let alone test them.  Plus at
least for ia64 and alpha those architectures don't appear to be
receiving updates for new syscalls, and no new hardware is being built
so I don't know how much longer they will last.

That is building for alpha gives:

But a real fix like you have shown if you can get it approved by the
alpha architecture maintainers I am more than happy to see, and would
very much prefer.

You certainly noticed that the middle case was SIGFPE when I missed
that.

Unfortunately I don't currently have the competence to judge the
effects of your patch.

Patches to wire up most of those syscalls on Alpha was posted recently
along with others to fix module loading, etc., but unfortunately they
do not appear to have been applied during the merge window...

Odd.

In general wiring up system calls is something that can even happen in
-rc2 or -rc3 as system calls get added in -rc1 and then the
architectures have a chance to send in the small patches wiring the up.
At least that is how I understand the usual rules for being a non-x86
architecture.

It's one thing to say FIXME in a comment in a kernel local header or
C file.

It's quite another to put this into the name of a macro which has
visibility in the global user compilation namespace.

I don't think you should really do that.

Good point.

Sigh.   It almost fits because we did do something off in the uapi
exported to userspace and we don't have a header file definition for
that case.

Still.  At this point arch/sparc/include/asm/siginfo.h is
a better fit for that definition.

I will respin and fix that.

I wish I knew what would make a better default floating point si_code on
sparc.  Using 0 aka SI_USER is doesn't fit at all.  Sigh.

Unfortunately I don't know the architecture well enough to even guess
what is going on in do_fpe_common when when no bits in fsr are set.

Any suggests for a better fix than just documenting that linux does
something weird and ill advised here?

Except arch/<arch>/include/asm/siginfo.h has now been eliminated.
So these definitions have to be
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#define ..._FIXME
#endif

In the uapi but not visible in the headers outside of the kernel.
Which seems appropriate for these values.

[PATCH 4/8] signal/mips: Document a conflict with SI_USER with SIGFPE

[Eric W. Biederman]

Setting si_code to __SI_FAULT 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.

This use of of __SI_FAULT is only a decade old.  Which compared
to the other pieces of kernel code that has made this mistake
is almost yesterday.

This is probably worth fixing but I don't know mips well enough
to know what si_code to would be the proper one to use.

[PATCH 5/8] signal/testing: Don't look for __SI_FAULT in userspace

[Eric W. Biederman]

Fix the debug print statements in these tests where they reference
si_codes and in particular __SI_FAULT.  __SI_FAULT is a kernel
internal value and should never be seen by userspace.

While I am in there also fix si_code_str.  si_codes are an enumeration
there are not a bitmap so == and not & is the apropriate operation to
test for an si_code.

[PATCH 7/8] fcntl: Don't use ambiguous SIG_POLL si_codes

[Eric W. Biederman]

We have a weird and problematic intersection of features that when
they all come together result in ambiguous siginfo values, that
we can not support properly.

- Supporting fcntl(F_SETSIG,...) with arbitrary valid signals.

- Using positive values for POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, POLL_MSG, ..., etc
  that imply they are signal specific si_codes and using the
  aforementioned arbitrary signal to deliver them.

- Supporting injection of arbitrary siginfo values for debugging and
  checkpoint/restore.

The result is that just looking at siginfo si_codes of 1 to 6 are
ambigious.  It could either be a signal specific si_code or it could
be a generic si_code.

For most of the kernel this is a non-issue but for sending signals
with siginfo it is impossible to play back the kernel signals and
get the same result.

Strictly speaking when the si_code was changed from SI_SIGIO to
POLL_IN and friends between 2.2 and 2.4 this functionality was not
ambiguous, as only real time signals were supported.  Before 2.4 was
released the kernel began supporting siginfo with non realtime signals
so they could give details of why the signal was sent.

The result is that if F_SETSIG is set to one of the signals with signal
specific si_codes then user space can not know why the signal was sent.

I grepped through a bunch of userspace programs using debian code
search to get a feel for how often people choose a signal that results
in an ambiguous si_code.  I only found one program doing so and it was
using SIGCHLD to test the F_SETSIG functionality, and did not appear
to be a real world usage.

Therefore the ambiguity does not appears to be a real world problem in
practice.  Remove the ambiguity while introducing the smallest chance
of breakage by changing the si_code to SI_SIGIO when signals with
signal specific si_codes are targeted.

Fixes: v2.3.40 -- Added support for queueing non-rt signals
Fixes: v2.3.21 -- Changed the si_code from SI_SIGIO

[PATCH 8/8] signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic

[Eric W. Biederman]

struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union
tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values:
__SI_KILL
__SI_TIMER
__SI_POLL
__SI_FAULT
__SI_CHLD
__SI_RT
__SI_MESGQ
__SI_SYS

While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has
not worked well.

- Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo

- It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the
  the kernel to misbehave.

- Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values
  in userspace in kernel self tests.

- Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which
  is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user
  sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated.

- The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform
  siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user.  As si_code must
  be massaged before being passed to userspace.

So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler
and more maintainable.

To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper
function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and
computes which union member of siginfo is being used.  Have
siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough
information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union
members.

A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal
specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in
siginfo_layout than I would like.  The good news is only problem
architectures pay the cost.

Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to
use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those
values.  Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the
defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in
the future the lack will show up at compile time.

Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy
the value and not cast si_code to a short first.  The high bits are no
longer used to hold a magic union member.

Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in
their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly
update the number of si_codes for each signal type.

The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the
interesting property that several of them perviously should never have
worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal.
With that dependency gone those implementations should work much
better.

The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then
not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without
changes.
