SubjectTest program demonstrating sys_clone() is broken on i386
This program demonstrates sys_clone() is broken on i386 when
using vsyscall to enter the kernel.

Stock 2.6.15:

$ gcc -o test_clone2.ex test_clone2.c ; ./test_clone2.ex
SIGSEGV accessing 0x00000000 from EIP 0x00000000
cloned; ret = 772

After applying kernel patch:

$ gcc -o test_clone2.ex test_clone2.c ; ./test_clone2.ex
cloned; ret = 0
cloned; ret = 676

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>

#ifdef INT80
# define SYSCALL_STR "int $0x80\n\t"
#else
# define SYSCALL_STR "call 0xffffe400\n\t"
#endif

#define CLONE 120
#define FLAGS 0

unsigned long child_stack[4096] __attribute__((__aligned__(4096)));
unsigned long *child_stack_ptr = &child_stack[2047];
struct sigaction sa;
int ret;

static void handler(int nr, siginfo_t *si, void *vuc)
{
struct ucontext *uc = (struct ucontext *)vuc;
struct sigcontext *sc = (struct sigcontext *)&uc->uc_mcontext;

printf("SIGSEGV accessing 0x%08x from EIP 0x%08x\n",
(unsigned long)si->si_addr, sc->eip);

sa.sa_handler = SIG_DFL;
sa.sa_flags = 0;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);
}

int main(int argc, char * const argv[])
{
sa.sa_sigaction = handler;
sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);

asm volatile(
SYSCALL_STR
: "=a"(ret)
: "a"(CLONE), "b"(FLAGS), "c"(child_stack_ptr)
: "memory"
);

printf("cloned; ret = %d\n", ret);
_exit(0);
}
