Hi Michael,
Unfortunately, this patch doesn't completely solve the problem.
Trying the original reproducer, I'm still able to trigger the crash even with this patch, although not 100% of the time. (If I turn ASLR off outside of tmux it reliably crashes, if I turn ASLR off _inside_ of tmux it reliably succeeds; all of this is on a serial console.)
./foo 1241000 & sleep 1; killall -USR1 foo; echo ok
If I add some debugging information, I see that I'm getting address + 4096 = 7fffffed0fa0 gpr1 = 7fffffed1020
So address + 4096 is 0x80 bytes below the 4k window. I haven't been able to figure out why, gdb gives me a NIP in __kernel_sigtramp_rt64 but I don't know what to make of that.
Kind regards, Daniel
