The commit 'sparc: Use Linux kABI for syscall return' (86c5d2cf0c
) did not take into account a subtle sparc syscall kABI constraint. For syscalls that might block indefinitely, on an interrupt (like SIGCONT) the kernel will set the instruction pointer to just before the syscall: arch/sparc/kernel/signal_64.c 476 static void do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long orig_i0) 477 { [...] 525 if (restart_syscall) { 526 switch (regs->u_regs[UREG_I0]) { 527 case ERESTARTNOHAND: 528 case ERESTARTSYS: 529 case ERESTARTNOINTR: 530 /* replay the system call when we are done */ 531 regs->u_regs[UREG_I0] = orig_i0; 532 regs->tpc -= 4; 533 regs->tnpc -= 4; 534 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs); 535 fallthrough; 536 case ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK: 537 regs->u_regs[UREG_G1] = __NR_restart_syscall; 538 regs->tpc -= 4; 539 regs->tnpc -= 4; 540 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs); 541 } However, on a SIGCONT it seems that 'g1' register is being clobbered after the syscall returns. Before86c5d2cf0c
, the 'g1' was always placed jus before the 'ta' instruction which then reloads the syscall number and restarts the syscall. On master, where 'g1' might be placed before 'ta': $ cat test.c #include <unistd.h> int main () { pause (); } $ gcc test.c -o test $ strace -f ./t [...] ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0 On another terminal $ kill -STOP 2262828 $ strace -f ./t [...] --- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} --- --- stopped by SIGSTOP --- And then $ kill -CONT 2262828 Results in: --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} --- restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted ppoll ...>) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) Where the expected behaviour would be: $ strace -f ./t [...] ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted if no handler) --- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} --- --- stopped by SIGSTOP --- --- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} --- ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0 Just moving the 'g1' setting near the syscall asm is not suffice, the compiler might optimize it away (as I saw on cancellation.c by trying this fix). Instead, I have change the inline asm to put the 'g1' setup in ithe asm block. This would require to change the asm constraint for INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS, since the syscall number is not constant.
