If a signal stack is set up with SS_AUTODISARM, then the kernel

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.

"on the it" -> "on it".
Anyway, I am a bit puzzled with this patch.
You say "unless user code deliberately set
SS_AUTODISARM when we were already on the it"
so what happens in case it actually does?
Stack corruption. Don't do that.
Only after your change, I have to admit. :)
Without your patch: if user sets up the same sas - no stack switch.
if user sets up different sas - stack switch on nested signal.
With your patch: stack switch in any case, so if user
set up same sas - stack corruption by nested signal.
Or am I missing the intention?
The intention is to make everything completely explicit. With
SS_AUTODISARM, the kernel knows directly whether you're on the signal
stack, and there should be no need to look at sp. If you set
SS_AUTODISARM and get a signal, the signal stack gets disarmed. If
you take a nested signal, it's delivered normally. When you return
all the way out, the signal stack is re-armed.
For DOSEMU, this means that no 16-bit register state can possibly
cause a signal to be delivered wrong, because the register state when
a signal is raised won't affect delivery, which seems like a good
thing to me.
Yes, but doesn't affect dosemu1 which doesn't use SS_AUTODISARM.
So IMHO the SS check should still be added, even if not for dosemu2.
If this behavior would be problematic for you, can you explain why?
Only theoretically: if someone sets SS_AUTODISARM inside a
sighandler. Since this doesn't give EPERM, I wouldn't deliberately
make it a broken scenario (esp if it wasn't before the particular change).
Ideally it would give EPERM, but we can't, so doesn't matter much.
I just wanted to warn about the possible regression.
