I found this while working on a Linux agent for spice, the symptom I was seeing was select blocking on the spice vdagent virtio serial port even though there were messages queued up there. virtio_console's port_fops_poll checks port->inbuf != NULL to determine if read won't block. However if an application reads enough bytes from inbuf through port_fops_read, to empty the current port->inbuf, port->inbuf will be NULL even though there may be buffers left in the virtqueue. This causes poll() to block even though there is data to be read, this patch fixes this by using will_read_block(port) instead of the port->inbuf != NULL check.

Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if more signals are pending. It leads to quite a few unpleasant inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend(); consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend() unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made, we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila - the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we get both delivered consistently. It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine... Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything else both are always set. #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> int had1, had2; void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; } void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; } main() { sigset_t set1, set2; sigemptyset(&set1); sigemptyset(&set2); sigaddset(&set2, 1); sigaddset(&set2, 2); signal(1, f1); signal(2, f2); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL); raise(1); raise(2); sigsuspend(&set1); printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2); } Tested-by: Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>

The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL, all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support. What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it. So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace the following #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> void f(int sig) {} main() { signal(SIGHUP, f); raise(SIGHUP); write(1, "eeeek\n", 6); } and watch the show. The close(1) = 405 in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 == __NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group == 405 there). The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right return value. Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1. The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write. Testcase: #include <signal.h> #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> main() { sigset_t mask; sigemptyset(&mask); sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT); sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL); kill(0, SIGCONT); syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7); } results on alpha in immediate message to stdout... Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers. Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in kernel/signal.c now.

If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler), we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one insn prior to where we ought to return. If r0 happens to contain -513 (-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart syscall song and dance. Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland code... The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper, i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers, suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys. They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway. Testcase: #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <errno.h> void f(int n) { __asm__ __volatile__( "ldr r0, [%0]\n" "b 1f\n" "b 2f\n" "1:b .\n" "2:\n" : : "r"(&n)); } void handler1(int sig) { } void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); } void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); } main() { struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2}; struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} }; struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} }; signal(1, handler1); sigemptyset(&s.sa_mask); sigaddset(&s.sa_mask, 1); sigaction(SIGALRM, &s, NULL); signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3); setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &t1, NULL); setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &t2, NULL); f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */ write(1, "buggered\n", 9); return 1; } Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
