Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Andy Lutomirski <> | Subject | [PATCH 1/4] signals/sigaltstack: If SS_AUTODISARM, bypass on_sig_stack | Date | Tue, 3 May 2016 10:31:49 -0700 |
| |
If a signal stack is set up with SS_AUTODISARM, then the kernel inherently avoids incorrectly resetting the signal stack if signals recurse: the signal stack will be reset on the first signal delivery. This means that we don't need check the stack pointer when delivering signals if SS_AUTODISARM is set.
This will make segmented x86 programs more robust: currently there's a hole that could be triggered if ESP/RSP appears to point to the signal stack but actually doesn't due to a nonzero SS base.
