The recent refactoring of the powerpc page fault handler in commit c3350602 ("powerpc/mm: Make bad_area* helper functions") caused access to protected memory regions to indicate SEGV_MAPERR instead of the traditional SEGV_ACCERR in the si_code field of a user-space signal handler. This can confuse debug libraries that temporarily change the protection of memory regions, and expect to use SEGV_ACCERR as an indication to restore access to a region. This commit restores the previous behavior. The following program exhibits the issue: $ ./repro read || echo "FAILED" $ ./repro write || echo "FAILED" $ ./repro exec || echo "FAILED" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <assert.h> static void segv_handler(int n, siginfo_t *info, void *arg) { _exit(info->si_code == SEGV_ACCERR ? 0 : 1); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { void *p = NULL; struct sigaction act = { .sa_sigaction = segv_handler, .sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO, }; assert(argc == 2); p = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), (strcmp(argv[1], "write") == 0) ? PROT_READ : 0, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); assert(p != MAP_FAILED); assert(sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL) == 0); if (strcmp(argv[1], "read") == 0) printf("%c", *(unsigned char *)p); else if (strcmp(argv[1], "write") == 0) *(unsigned char *)p = 0; else if (strcmp(argv[1], "exec") == 0) ((void (*)(void))p)(); return 1; /* failed to generate SEGV */ } Fixes: c3350602 ("powerpc/mm: Make bad_area* helper functions") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.14+ Signed-off-by:
