[PATCH 00/12] signal: sort out si_trapno and si_perf

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is my attempt to sort out the ABI issues with SIGTRAP TRAP_PERF
before any userspace code starts using the new ABI.

The big ideas are:
- Placing the asserts first to prevent unexpected ABI changes
- si_trapno can become an ordinary fault subfield.
- Reworking siginfo so that si_perf_data can be a 64bit field.
- struct signalfd_siginfo is almost full

Marco I have incorporated your static_assert changes and built
on them to prevent having unexpected ABI changes.

The field si_trapno is changed to become an ordinary extension of the
_sigfault member of siginfo.

The code is refactored a bit and then si_perf_data is made a 64bit,
and si_perf_type is made distinct from si_errno.

Finally the signalfd_siginfo fields are removed as they appear to be
filling up the structure without userspace actually being able to use
them.

Eric W. Biederman (9):
      siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault
      signal: Implement SIL_FAULT_TRAPNO
      signal: Use dedicated helpers to send signals with si_trapno set
      signal: Remove __ARCH_SI_TRAPNO
      signal: Rename SIL_PERF_EVENT SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT for consistency
      signal: Factor force_sig_perf out of perf_sigtrap
      signal: Redefine signinfo so 64bit fields are possible
      signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf
      signalfd: Remove SIL_FAULT_PERF_EVENT fields from signalfd_siginfo

Marco Elver (3):
      sparc64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
      arm: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
      arm64: Add compile-time asserts for siginfo_t offsets
