From: Dave Hansen Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 12:54:51 +0000 (-0800) Subject: mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 field X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49cd53bf14aeb471c4a2682300dfc05ef2fd09f2;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 field Stephen Rothwell reported this linux-next build failure: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160226164406.065a1ffc@canb.auug.org.au ... caused by the Memory Protection Keys patches from the tip tree triggering a newly introduced build-time sanity check on an ARM build, because they changed the ABI of siginfo in an unexpected way. If u64 has a natural alignment of 8 bytes (which is the case on most mainstream platforms, with the notable exception of x86-32), then the leadup to the _sifields union matters: typedef struct siginfo { int si_signo; int si_errno; int si_code; union { ... } _sifields; } __ARCH_SI_ATTRIBUTES siginfo_t; Note how the first 3 fields give us 12 bytes, so _sifields is not 8 naturally bytes aligned. Before the _pkey field addition the largest element of _sifields (on 32-bit platforms) was 32 bits. With the u64 added, the minimum alignment requirement increased to 8 bytes on those (rare) 32-bit platforms. Thus GCC padded the space after si_code with 4 extra bytes, and shifted all _sifields offsets by 4 bytes - breaking the ABI of all of those remaining fields. On 64-bit platforms this problem was hidden due to _sifields already having numerous fields with natural 8 bytes alignment (pointers). To fix this, we replace the u64 with an '__u32'. The __u32 does not increase the minimum alignment requirement of the union, and it is also large enough to store the 16-bit pkey we have today on x86.
