Subject[PATCH 1/3] MIPS: signal: Protect against sigaltstack wraparound
Date
If a process uses alternative signal stack by using sigaltstack(),
then that stack overflows and stack wraparound occurs.

Simple Explanation:
The accurate sp order is A,B,C,D,...
But now the sp points to A,B,C and A,B,C again.

This problem can reproduce by the following code:

$ cat test_sigaltstack.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

volatile int counter = 0;

void print_sp()
{
unsigned long sp;

__asm__ __volatile__("move %0, $sp" : "=r" (sp));
printf("sp = 0x%08lx\n", sp);
}

void segv_handler()
{
int *c = NULL;

print_sp();
counter++;
printf("%d\n", counter);

if (counter == 23)
abort();

*c = 1; // SEGV
}

int main()
{
int *c = NULL;
char *s = malloc(SIGSTKSZ);
stack_t stack;
struct sigaction action;

memset(s, 0, SIGSTKSZ);
stack.ss_sp = s;
stack.ss_flags = 0;
stack.ss_size = SIGSTKSZ;
if (sigaltstack(&stack, NULL)) {
printf("Failed to use sigaltstack!\n");
return -1;
}

memset(&action, 0, sizeof(action));
action.sa_handler = segv_handler;
action.sa_flags = SA_ONSTACK | SA_NODEFER;
sigemptyset(&action.sa_mask);
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &action, NULL);

*c = 0; //SEGV

if (!s)
free(s);

return 0;
}
$ gcc test_sigaltstack.c -o test_sigaltstack
$ ./test_sigaltstack
sp = 0x120015c80
1
sp = 0x120015900
2
sp = 0x120015580
3
sp = 0x120015200
4
sp = 0x120014e80

6
sp = 0x120014780
7
sp = 0x120014400
8
sp = 0x120014080
9
sp = 0x120013d00
10
sp = 0x120015c80
11 # wraparound occurs! the 11nd output is same as 1st.
sp = 0x120015900
12
sp = 0x120015580
13
sp = 0x120015200
14
sp = 0x120014e80
15
sp = 0x120014b00
16
sp = 0x120014780
17
sp = 0x120014400
18
sp = 0x120014080
19
sp = 0x120013d00
20
sp = 0x120015c80
21 # wraparound occurs! the 21nd output is same as 1st.
sp = 0x120015900
22
sp = 0x120015580
23
Aborted

With this patch:

$ ./test_sigaltstack
sp = 0x120015c80
1
sp = 0x120015900
2
sp = 0x120015580
3
sp = 0x120015200
4
sp = 0x120014e80
5
sp = 0x120014b00
6
sp = 0x120014780
7
sp = 0x120014400
8
sp = 0x120014080
9
Segmentation fault

If we are on the alternate signal stack and would overflow it, don't.
Return an always-bogus address instead so we will die with SIGSEGV.

This patch is similar with commit 83bd01024b1f ("x86: protect against
sigaltstack wraparound").
