[PATCH 0/2] SA_IMMUTABLE fixes

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

 



SA_IMMUTABLE fixed issues with force_sig_seccomp and the introduction
for force_sig_fatal where the exit previously could not be interrupted
but now it can.  Unfortunately it added that behavior to all force_sig
functions under the right conditions which debuggers usage of SIG_TRAP
and debuggers handling of SIGSEGV.

Solve that by limiting SA_IMMUTABLE to just the cases that historically
debuggers have not been able to intercept.

The first patch changes force_sig_info_to_task to take a flag
that requests which behavior is desired.

The second patch adds force_exit_sig which replaces force_fatal_sig
in the cases where historically userspace would only find out about
the ``signal'' after the process has exited.

The first one with the hunk changing force_fatal_sig removed should be
suitable for backporting to v5.15. v5.15 does not implement
force_fatal_sig.

This should be enough to fix the regressions.

Kyle if you can double check me that I have properly fixed these issues
that would be appreciated.

Any other review or suggestions to improve the names would be
appreciated.  I think I have named things reasonably well but I am very
close to the code so it is easy for me to miss things.

      signal: Don't always set SA_IMMUTABLE for forced signals
      signal: Replace force_fatal_sig with force_exit_sig when in doubt
