To ensure that SIGSYS delivery occurs on return from the triggering system call, SIGSYS is added to the SYNCHRONOUS_MASK macro.
Hmm. Can't understand... please help.
#define SYNCHRONOUS_MASK \ (sigmask(SIGSEGV) | sigmask(SIGBUS) | sigmask(SIGILL) | \ - sigmask(SIGTRAP) | sigmask(SIGFPE)) + sigmask(SIGTRAP) | sigmask(SIGFPE) | sigmask(SIGSYS))
Why? SYNCHRONOUS_MASK just tells dequeue_signal() "pick them first". This is needed to make sure that the handler for, say SIGSEGV, can use ucontext->ip as a faulting addr. But seccomp adds info->si_call_addr, this looks unneeded. Oleg.
