Hi!
When siginfo_t was added, the intent obviously was that its size
be 128 bytes on all arches.
This is true on all 32-bit arches and what glibc has in its siginfo_t
definition on all arches:
# if __WORDSIZE == 64
# define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 4)
# else
# define __SI_PAD_SIZE ((__SI_MAX_SIZE / sizeof (int)) - 3)
# endif
typedef struct siginfo
{
int si_signo; /* Signal number. */
int si_errno; /* If non-zero, an errno value associated with
this signal, as defined in <errno.h>. */
int si_code; /* Signal code. */
union
{
int _pad[__SI_PAD_SIZE];
...
struct
{
void *si_addr; /* Faulting insn/memory ref. */
} _sigfault;
...
} _sifields;
} siginfo_t;
The kernel unfortunately does this right on sparc64 and alpha from 64-bit
arches only; ia64, s390x, ppc64 etc. got it wrong.
This is a bad problem, since e.g. sigwaitinfo(3) is supported ABI,
and apps - as they are compiled against glibc headers, not kernel ones -
will thus reserve on the stack 8 bytes less than the kernel fills
(this is hidden in copy_siginfo_to_user, so usually only if si_code >= 0
all 136 bytes will be copied).
Note that glibc had such siginfo_t definitions from the beggining,
ie. it is not something changed recently. E.g. on s390x,
such definition was already in -r1.1 checkin in March 2001, x86_64/ia64
never had its own siginfo.h but used a generic one which had the
above __SI_PAD_SIZE definition since early 2000 (x86_64 was added in 2001,
ia64 about 5 months later than that change).
I have noticed this on s390x in a different place:
MD_FALLBACK_FRAME_STATE_FOR in gcc, in order to unwind through
signal frames, needs to locate ucontext, and looking at
stack pointer + 8 + sizeof(siginfo_t) (which works on s390 32-bit)
did not work at all, everything was shifted by 8 bytes.
This though means that the kernel siginfo_t change cannot be done
just in asm-*/siginfo.h headers - at least places where siginfo_t
is present within some structures ever visible to userland a dummy
8 byte pad needs to be inserted.

That's not the only siginfo_t problem:
- Take a look at the placement of the _uid32 field on m68k.
It varies from sub-structure to sub-structure - yet it is
always written to the same offset by the kernel. Borken!
Other cleanups:
- SI_* codes on S390 are identical to the generic ones.
They can be removed from the S390 file.
- Comment in MIPS siginfo about IRIX compatibility is no
longer true; the layout was changed when uid32 added.
- __ARCH_SI_UID_T can be removed. Only Sparc sets it,
and to the same type as uid_t (unsigned int).

It should probably use the one from asm-generic as well. I could not
find anything that actually uses that field.

The ia64 kernel defines in asm-ia64/siginfo.h:
#define SI_PAD_SIZE ((SI_MAX_SIZE/sizeof(int)) - 4)
typedef struct siginfo {
int si_signo;
int si_errno;
int si_code;
int __pad0;
What's wrong with that?

Oops, sorry, you're right, dunno where I was looking.
So, the bug seems to exist on s390x, amd64, maybe parisc64 if such thing
exists.

David Mosberger is correct that ia64 is OK (because it basically uses its
own siginfo.h as does mips64). The following is an update of a patch that
was lost a while ago (when __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE was invented).
I am not sure if the s390 fix is correct (since s390x has been merged) or
if x86_64 needs this (as I cannot remember the alignment needs of the
x86_64 compiler - though I suspect it is needed).
I have no idea if parisc is correct on 64 bit platforms (probably not).
This has been neither compiled or tested, but should be close.

This is not correct for the merged header.
It needs to be:
#ifdef __s390x__
#define __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE (4 * sizeof(int))
#endif
Furthermore, there needs to be a pad inserted fo arch/s390x/kernel/signal.c
(rt_sigframe right after info member) to keep binary compatibility.

OK, I can see that (although is __s390x__ defined when building a
32 (31?) bit kernel on a 64bit s390?).

__s390x__ is defined when doing 64-bit compile targetted to s390.
Ie. gcc -m64 defines it, gcc -m31 does not.

Then that pad needs to be #ifdef __s390x__ as well.

That makes sense (since I now see that CONFIG_ARCH_S390X => -m64).

But why pad at all since we have now increased the size of the siginfo
structure in the 64bit case (maybe I am being thick as it is 3:25am here
:-)).

Decreased, from 136 bytes when __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE is (3 * sizeof(int))
to 128 bytes with (4 * sizeof(int)).
The pad in rt_sigframe is certainly open for discussion. GCC does on s390x:
struct ucontext_ \
{ \
unsigned long uc_flags; \
struct ucontext_ *uc_link; \
unsigned long uc_stack[3]; \
sigregs_ uc_mcontext; \
} *uc_ = (CONTEXT)->cfa + 8 + 128; \
\
regs_ = &uc_->uc_mcontext; \
(128 stands for sizeof(siginfo_t)).
This means it does not work on any kernels so far, if we don't add a pad
to the kernel and just fix __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE on s390x, then GCC
will suddenly work with all newer kernels but will never work with older
kernels.
If pad is added to the kernel at the same time as __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE
is increased, it would need to be added to GCC as well, so older GCCs
would not work on any kernels while patched/newer GCCs would work on all
kernels.

The MD_FALLBACK_FRAME_STATE_FOR macro does not use sizeof(siginfo_t)
at all, but hardcodes 128. (This has always been the case, and was
done to avoid the need to include signal.h.) This is still broken
with the current kernel behaviour, though.
It is strange that I didn't notice the problem earlier; apparently
most of the places where unwinding through signal frames is required
use non-RT frames ...

As userspace expects a size of 128 bytes, and with the change
the size now *is* 128 bytes, why would a pad be required?

As I tried to write, we either can have all GCCs
which will work properly only with new kernels (no pad added),
or we can have new GCCs working with all kernels (if pad is added).
Your choice...

I'll discuss this with Martin tomorrow, but right now I'd tend to
fixing the kernel, because this means you can fix an installed
system by upgrading only the kernel itself (and this upgrade
should not break anything). The alternative would be not only
to upgrade libgcc (and possibly glibc), but all programs statically
linked with it as well as all programs that otherwise have the
signal stack layout hardcoded ...

This is a kernel bug and I'm inclined to say that this has to be fixed in
the kernel and only there. If it didn't work at all so far nobody will
complain that it suddenly works with the kernel fix. It is an ABI change
but for an ABI that didn't work so far. I don't see a problem with the
simple fix to use __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE (4 * sizeof(int)) for s390x.

It is broken subtly (but noone would probably notice :-)). It is OK
on the structure size, but copy_siginfo will copy sizeof(int) bytes less
than necessary sometimes (particularly in the case of a SIGCHILD).
You need the following patch (against 2.6.0-test1-bk2 but should apply
to just about anything).
