Incidentally, sparc64 is also broken the same way: sparc64:~# gcc sigreturn-test.c sparc64:~# ./a.out entering SIGUSR1 on altstack entering SIGUSR2 on altstack SIGUSR2 done SIGUSR1 done sparc64:~# gcc -m64 sigreturn-test.c sparc64:~# ./a.out entering SIGUSR1 on altstack entering SIGUSR2 on altstack SIGUSR2 done Segmentation fault sparc64:~# 32bit rt_sigreturn (in signal32.c) simply ignores all errors. One in signal_64.c fails on *any* error from do_sigaltstack(), with the results above... sigreturn-test.c is what I've posted upthread. I think this one is -stable fodder. It's not hard to deal with, fortunately. Are you OK with the patch below? Should be the minimal fix, getting rid of those segfaults and converting to usual semantics here...
