Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] riscv: signal: mark the FP state clean before restoring it from the frame
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 12:18:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261031161826.858908-2-nickolai@csail.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261031161826.858908-1-nickolai@csail.mit.edu>

If rt_sigreturn() is preempted or sleeps on a page fault while it copies
the FP registers from the signal frame, the interrupted code resumes
with the signal handler's FP registers instead of its own.

restore_fp_state() copies the frame into current->thread.fstate and then
loads it with fstate_restore(). If the handler used the FPU, FS is still
Dirty during the copy, so a context switch makes fstate_save() store the
live registers, the handler's, over the partly copied image.

Mark the FP state clean before the copy, as commit c27fa53b858b ("riscv:
Fix vector state restore in rt_sigreturn()") did for the vector state.
Preemption is disabled around it because the scheduler also writes
regs->status.

Fixes: e2c0cdfba7f6 ("RISC-V: User-facing API")
