<title>signal: Unify and correct copy_siginfo_to_user32</title>

<content type='text'>
Among the existing architecture specific versions of
copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation
problems.  Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in
the siginfo union.  Some architectures perform a blind copy of the
siginfo union when the si_code is negative.  A blind copy suggests the
data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that
receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is
in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace.

Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the
architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in
the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is
stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format.

A special case is made for x86 x32 format.  This is needed as presence
of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal
formats.  By allowing this small special case there winds up being
exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the
architectures.  Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of
finding bugs.

As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86
signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so
that they will keep running.

<content type='text'>
The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace
since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that
user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary
siginfo data.

Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures
share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union.

In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all
of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure
can be safely copied to userspace if necessary.

When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member.  That
ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged.

<title>signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc731525f26af85a1c3537da41e0abd1d35e0bdb</id>
<content type='text'>
struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union
tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values:
__SI_KILL
__SI_TIMER
__SI_POLL
__SI_FAULT
__SI_CHLD
__SI_RT
__SI_MESGQ
__SI_SYS

While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has
not worked well.

- Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo

- It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the
  the kernel to misbehave.

- Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values
  in userspace in kernel self tests.

- Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which
  is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user
  sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated.

- The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform
  siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user.  As si_code must
  be massaged before being passed to userspace.

So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler
and more maintainable.

To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper
function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and
computes which union member of siginfo is being used.  Have
siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough
information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union
members.

A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal
specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in
siginfo_layout than I would like.  The good news is only problem
architectures pay the cost.

Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to
use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those
values.  Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the
defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in
the future the lack will show up at compile time.

Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy
the value and not cast si_code to a short first.  The high bits are no
longer used to hold a magic union member.

Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in
their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly
update the number of si_codes for each signal type.

The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the
interesting property that several of them perviously should never have
worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal.
With that dependency gone those implementations should work much
better.

The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then
not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without
changes.

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.
