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40  *   no longer valid.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