Sorry for confuse. I was considering if the pointer in sival_ptr is greater than 32bit in 64bit application. But it seems that it is not relative to my issue: We only talk about the 32bit application here. >>> I think that's correct fix since in the SIGEV_THREAD mq_notify case, we >>> would not deliver a signal as notification, so the sival_int value is >>> irrelevant (it would be 0 for big-endian compat tasks because of the >>> sigval_t union on 64-bit). >>> >>> Your patch would work as well but you have to change all the other >>> architectures to use si_ptr when copying to a compat siginfo. >> >> Yeah, it seems that my patch is useful only if the sival_ptr is bigger >> than 32bit.

I was thinking if it is not very clear that app write to si_ptr in userspace while kernel only read/write si_int. regards bamvor >>>>> diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c >>>>> index e299de396e9b..32601939a3c8 100644 >>>>> --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c >>>>> +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/signal32.c >>>>> @@ -154,8 +154,7 @@ int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, const siginfo_t *from) >>>>> case __SI_TIMER: >>>>> err |= __put_user(from->si_tid, &to->si_tid); >>>>> err |= __put_user(from->si_overrun, &to->si_overrun); >>>>> - err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long)from->si_ptr, >>>>> - &to->si_ptr); >>>>> + err |= __put_user(from->si_int, &to->si_int); >>>>> break; >>>>> case __SI_POLL: >>>>> err |= __put_user(from->si_band, &to->si_band); >>>>> @@ -184,7 +183,7 @@ int copy_siginfo_to_user32(compat_siginfo_t __user *to, const siginfo_t *from) >>>>> case __SI_MESGQ: /* But this is */ >>>>> err |= __put_user(from->si_pid, &to->si_pid); >>>>> err |= __put_user(from->si_uid, &to->si_uid); >>>>> - err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long)from->si_ptr, &to->si_ptr); >>>>> + err |= __put_user(from->si_int, &to->si_int); >>>>> break; >>>>> case __SI_SYS: >>>>> err |= __put_user((compat_uptr_t)(unsigned long) > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
