This is amazing that it makes a difference since the sigreturn stub is implemented entirely in inline assembler :-) Normally the 64-bit stub is emitted as: __rt_sigreturn_stub: mov 101, %g1 ta 0x6d and with -fstack-protector-all we get: __rt_sigreturn_stub: save %sp, -192, %sp ldx [%g7+40], %g1 stx %g1, [%fp+2039] mov 0, %g1 mov 101, %g1 ta 0x6d ldx [%fp+2039], %g1 ldx [%g7+40], %g2 xor %g1, %g2, %g1 mov 0, %g2 brnz,pn %g1, .LL4 nop return %i7+8 nop .LL4: call __stack_chk_fail, 0 nop nop That 'save' is the problem. One can't change the register window or the stack pointer in this function, as the kernel has setup the restore frame at a precise location relative to the stack pointer when the stub is invoked. Basically, do_rt_sigreturn is restoring garbage into the cpu registers. It obviously shouldn't crash, which I'll look into, but it is clear that we can't enable -fstack-protector-all for this function. So far I'm playing with the patch below to do some basic sanity checks on the values inside of the sigreturn frame: diff --git a/arch/sparc/kernel/signal32.c b/arch/sparc/kernel/signal32.c index 3c25241..6eb39a7 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/kernel/signal32.c +++ b/arch/sparc/kernel/signal32.c @@ -138,6 +138,18 @@ int copy_siginfo_from_user32(siginfo_t *to, compat_siginfo_t __user *from) return 0; } +/* Checks if the fp is valid.
