[PATCH] target/hppa: clear the PSW 'N' bit when delivering signals

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

 



qemu-hppa may crash when delivering a signal. It can be demonstrated with 
this program. Compile the program with "hppa-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 signal.c" 
and run it with "qemu-hppa -one-insn-per-tb a.out". It reports that the 
address of the flag is 0xb4 and it crashes when attempting to touch it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <signal.h>

sig_atomic_t flag;

void sig(int n)
{
	printf("&flag: %p\n", &flag);
	flag = 1;
}

int main(void)
{
	struct sigaction sa;
	struct itimerval it;

	sa.sa_handler = sig;
	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
	sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
	if (sigaction(SIGALRM, &sa, NULL)) perror("sigaction"), exit(1);

	it.it_interval.tv_sec = 0;
	it.it_interval.tv_usec = 100;
	it.it_value.tv_sec = it.it_interval.tv_sec;
	it.it_value.tv_usec = it.it_interval.tv_usec;

	if (setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &it, NULL)) perror("setitimer"), exit(1);

	while (1) {
	}
}

The reason for the crash is that the signal handling routine doesn't clear 
the 'N' flag in the PSW. If the signal interrupts a thread when the 'N' 
flag is set, the flag remains set at the beginning of the signal handler 
and the first instruction of the signal handler is skipped.
