14 * UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will be set when delivering 64-bit or x32 signals on
15 * kernels that save SS in the sigcontext. All kernels that set
16 * UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will correctly restore at least the low 32 bits of esp
17 * regardless of SS (i.e. they implement espfix).
18 *
19 * Kernels that set UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will also set UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS
20 * when delivering a signal that came from 64-bit code.
21 *
22 * Sigreturn restores SS as follows:
23 *
24 * if (saved SS is valid || UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS is set ||
25 * saved CS is not 64-bit)
26 * new SS = saved SS (will fail IRET and signal if invalid)
27 * else
28 * new SS = a flat 32-bit data segment
29 *
30 * This behavior serves three purposes:
31 *
32 * - Legacy programs that construct a 64-bit sigcontext from scratch
33 * with zero or garbage in the SS slot (e.g. old CRIU) and call
34 * sigreturn will still work.
35 *
36 * - Old DOSEMU versions sometimes catch a signal from a segmented
37 * context, delete the old SS segment (with modify_ldt), and change
38 * the saved CS to a 64-bit segment. These DOSEMU versions expect
39 * sigreturn to send them back to 64-bit mode without killing them,
40 * despite the fact that the SS selector when the signal was raised is
41 * no longer valid. UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS will be clear, so the kernel
42 * will fix up SS for these DOSEMU versions.
43 *
44 * - Old and new programs that catch a signal and return without
45 * modifying the saved context will end up in exactly the state they
46 * started in, even if they were running in a segmented context when
47 * the signal was raised.. Old kernels would lose track of the
48 * previous SS value.
