Subject: x32 is broken in 4.9-rc1 due to "x86/signal: Add SA_{X32,IA32}_ABI sa_flags"

Hi

In the kernel 4.9-rc1, the x32 support is seriously broken, a x32 process
is killed with SIGKILL after returning from any signal handler.

I use Debian sid x64-64 distribution with x32 architecture added from
debian-ports.

I bisected the bug and found out that it is caused by the patch
6846351052e685c2d1428e80ead2d7ca3d7ed913 ("x86/signal: Add
SA_{X32,IA32}_ABI sa_flags").

example (strace of a process after receiving the SIGWINCH signal):

epoll_wait(10, 0xef6890, 32, -1) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
--- SIGWINCH {si_signo=SIGWINCH, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=1772, si_uid=0} ---
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1 ([{fd=4, revents=POLLOUT}])
write(4, "\0", 1) = 1
rt_sigreturn({mask=[INT QUIT ILL TRAP BUS KILL SEGV USR2 PIPE ALRM STKFLT TSTP TTOU URG XCPU XFSZ VTALRM IO PWR SYS RTMIN]}) = 0
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=NULL} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I should have said they are killed with SIGSEGV, not SIGKILL.

BTW. when I take core dump of the killed x32 process, it shows:

ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF32
Data: 2's complement, little endian
Version: 1 (current)
OS/ABI: UNIX - System V
ABI Version: 0
Type: CORE (Core file)
Machine: Intel 80386
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, the kernel somehow thinks that it is i386 process, not x32 process. A
core dump of a real x32 process shows "Class: ELF32, Machine: Advanced
Micro Devices X86-64".

Hi Mikulas,

could you give attached patch a shot?
In about 10 hours I'll be at work and will have debian-x32 install,
but for now, I can't test it.
Thanks again on catching that.

Works for me. Tested on general operation, a few by-hand checks and several
random package builds.

It'd be nice to check glibc's testsuite as well as it had recent regressions
caused by kernel changes on x32 (like https://bugs.debian.org/841240) but as
gcc-6 in sid is broken right now (fails to build kernel, glibc:amd64, etc),
I didn't bother that much.

x86/signal: Remove bogus user_64bit_mode() check from sigaction_compat_abi()

The recent introduction of SA_X32/IA32 sa_flags added a check for
user_64bit_mode() into sigaction_compat_abi(). user_64bit_mode() is true
for native 64bit processes and x32 processes.

Due to that the function returns w/o setting the SA_X32_ABI flag for X32
processes. In consequence the kernel attempts to deliver the signal to the
X32 process in native 64bit mode causing the process to segfault.

Remove the check, so the actual check for X32 mode which sets the ABI flag
can be reached. There is no side effect for native 64bit mode.

Can you please stop sending attached patches? It's a pain to look at them
and it makes it hard to reply inline.

I applied it and rewrote the changelog because the one liner you slapped
into it is more than useless. Ditto for the completely misleading subject
line. Please be more careful with that.

Thanks,

Sure, I've planned to resend it after get tested-by or when I test
on x32 by myself. Sorry about attaching and changelog.

The recent introduction of SA_X32/IA32 sa_flags added a check for
user_64bit_mode() into sigaction_compat_abi(). user_64bit_mode() is true
for native 64-bit processes and x32 processes.

X32 process in native 64-bit mode causing the process to segfault.

Remove the check, so the actual check for X32 mode which sets the ABI flag
can be reached. There is no side effect for native 64-bit mode.
