136c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will be set when delivering 64-bit or x32 signals on
146c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * kernels that save SS in the sigcontext.  All kernels that set
156c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will correctly restore at least the low 32 bits of esp
166c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * regardless of SS (i.e. they implement espfix).
176c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
186c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * Kernels that set UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will also set UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS
196c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * when delivering a signal that came from 64-bit code.
206c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
216c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * Sigreturn restores SS as follows:
226c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
236c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * if (saved SS is valid || UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS is set ||
246c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *     saved CS is not 64-bit)
256c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *         new SS = saved SS  (will fail IRET and signal if invalid)
266c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * else
276c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *         new SS = a flat 32-bit data segment
286c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
296c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * This behavior serves three purposes:
306c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
316c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * - Legacy programs that construct a 64-bit sigcontext from scratch
326c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   with zero or garbage in the SS slot (e.g. old CRIU) and call
336c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   sigreturn will still work.
346c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
356c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * - Old DOSEMU versions sometimes catch a signal from a segmented
366c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   context, delete the old SS segment (with modify_ldt), and change
376c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   the saved CS to a 64-bit segment.  These DOSEMU versions expect
386c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   sigreturn to send them back to 64-bit mode without killing them,
396c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   despite the fact that the SS selector when the signal was raised is
406c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   no longer valid.  UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS will be clear, so the kernel
416c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   will fix up SS for these DOSEMU versions.
426c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *
436c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  * - Old and new programs that catch a signal and return without
446c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   modifying the saved context will end up in exactly the state they
456c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   started in, even if they were running in a segmented context when
466c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   the signal was raised..  Old kernels would lose track of the
476c25da5aSAndy Lutomirski  *   previous SS value.
