    [PATCH] uml: fix signal mask on delivery error · 44383059

    If the user stack limit is reached or the signal stack assigned with
    sigaltstack() is invalid when a user signal handler with SA_ONSTACK has to be
    started, the signal mask of the interrupted user program is modified.  This
    happens because the mask, that should be used with the handler only, is
    written to "current->blocked" even if the handler could not be started.  But
    without a handler, no rewrite of the original mask at sys_sigreturn will be
    done.
    
    A slightly different case is sys_sigsuspend(), where the mask is already
    modified when kern_do_signal() is started.  "*oldset" and "current->blocked"
    are not equal here and thus current->blocked has to be set to *oldset, if an
    error occurs in handle_signal().
    
    For both cases I've written small tests, and with the patch the result is OK. 
    This issue is relevant for other architectures too (e.g.  i386, I've seen).
