To clarify, I remembered looking at sigreturn possibly faulting from the 32-bit perspective, where the 6th arg is read from the user stack and a fault there would return -EFAULT, for any syscall. > This still can be made to work by not RESTORE'ing EXTRA_REGS either, > if there is a way to detect the failure: > > call sys_rt_sigreturn > - jmp return_from_stub > + testl ??????????? > + jz return_from_stub > + ret > CFI_ENDPROC > > But this is not a normal syscall, off-hand I don't see an easy way > to do the test. sys_rt_sigreturn() on failure runs this code: > > ... > segfault: > force_sig(SIGSEGV, current); > return 0; > } > > Help? I don't think you can test the return value, because in the success case it can be any value (the restored RAX value). -- Brian Gerst -- 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/
