[ Upstream commit b5daf2b9d1c9a2b4f03ca93f75913ba2da3b3eaa ]
Setting si_code to 0 results in a userspace seeing an si_code of 0. This is the same si_code as SI_USER. Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI.
Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr field by accident but certainly not by design. Making this a very flakey implementation.
Utilizing FPE_FIXME siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will reliably be copied.
This bug is 13 years old and parsic machines are no longer being built so I don't know if it possible or worth fixing it. But it is at least worth documenting this so other architectures don't make the same mistake.
Possible ABI fixes includee: - Send the signal without siginfo - Don't generate a signal - Possibly assign and use an appropriate si_code - Don't handle cases which can't happen
