[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.14 93/97] signal/powerpc: Document conflicts with SI_USER and SIGFPE and SIGTRAP

From: Sasha Levin <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-19 15:57:35
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <redacted>

[ Upstream commit cf4674c46c66e45f238f8f7e81af2a444b970c0a ]

Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0.
This is the same si_code as SI_USER.  Posix and common sense requires
that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code.  As such this use of 0
for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.

Further use of si_code =3D=3D 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a
value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result
that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr
field by accident but certainly not by design.  Making this a very
flakey implementation.

Utilizing FPE_FIXME and TRAP_FIXME, siginfo_layout() will now return
SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

Possible ABI fixes includee:
- Send the signal without siginfo
- Don't generate a signal
- Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code
- Don't handle cases which can't happen
