[PATCH v3 0/2] make sigaltstack() compatible with swapcontext()

Show all headers | View raw

The following patches make it possible to use swapcontext()
in a sighandler that works on sigaltstack.
The approach is inspired by Andy Lutomirski's suggestion that
sigaltstack should disarm itself after saving into uc_stack:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/594

I add the SS_AUTODISARM flag that does exactly that.
On sighandler exit, the sigaltstack is restored from uc_stack.
Another possible name could be SS_ONESHOT, but, since it gets
always re-enabled, I choose SS_AUTODISARM.

[PATCH 1/2] sigaltstack: implement SS_AUTODISARM flag
	This patch implements SS_AUTODISARM flag
[PATCH 2/2] selftests: Add test for sigaltstack(SS_AUTODISARM)
	This patch adds the selftest code for new functionality
