From add0b32ef9146a8559a60aed54c37692a5f9d34f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2021 17:06:01 -0500 Subject: siginfo: Move si_trapno inside the union inside _si_fault It turns out that linux uses si_trapno very sparingly, and as such it can be considered extra information for a very narrow selection of signals, rather than information that is present with every fault reported in siginfo. As such move si_trapno inside the union inside of _si_fault. This results in no change in placement, and makes it eaiser to extend _si_fault in the future as this reduces the number of special cases. In particular with si_trapno included in the union it is no longer a concern that the union must be pointer aligned on most architectures because the union follows immediately after si_addr which is a pointer. This change results in a difference in siginfo field placement on sparc and alpha for the fields si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper, si_pkey, and si_perf. These architectures do not implement the signals that would use si_addr_lsb, si_lower, si_upper, si_pkey, and si_perf. Further these architecture have not yet implemented the userspace that would use si_perf. The point of this change is in fact to correct these placement issues before sparc or alpha grow userspace that cares. This change was discussed[1] and the agreement is that this change is currently safe.

Biederman" Date: Sun, 2 May 2021 17:28:31 -0500 Subject: signal: Deliver all of the siginfo perf data in _perf Don't abuse si_errno and deliver all of the perf data in _perf member of siginfo_t. Note: The data field in the perf data structures in a u64 to allow a pointer to be encoded without needed to implement a 32bit and 64bit version of the same structure. There already exists a 32bit and 64bit versions siginfo_t, and the 32bit version can not include a 64bit member as it only has 32bit alignment. So unsigned long is used in siginfo_t instead of a u64 as unsigned long can encode a pointer on all architectures linux supports. v1: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/m11rarqqx2.fsf_-_@fess.ebiederm.org v2: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210503203814.25487-10-ebiederm@xmission.com v3: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210505141101.11519-11-ebiederm@xmission.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210517195748.8880-4-ebiederm@xmission.com Reviewed-by: Marco Elver Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
