| |
Previously, higher 32 bits of exit_signal fields were lost when copied to the kernel args structure (that uses int as a type for the respective field). Moreover, as Oleg has noted[1], exit_signal is used unchecked, so it has to be checked for sanity before use; for the legacy syscalls, applying CSIGNAL mask guarantees that it is at least non-negative; however, there's no such thing is done in clone3() code path, and that can break at least thread_group_leader.
Checking user-passed exit_signal against ~CSIGNAL mask solves both of these problems.
[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/10/467
* kernel/fork.c (copy_clone_args_from_user): Fail with -EINVAL if args.exit_signal has bits set outside CSIGNAL mask. (_do_fork): Note that exit_signal is expected to be checked for the sanity by the caller.
