    s390: fix handling of runtime instrumentation psw bit · 5ebf250d
    Heiko Carstens authored
    Fix the following bugs:
    - When returning from a signal the signal handler copies the saved psw mask
      from user space and uses parts of it. Especially it restores the RI bit
      unconditionally. If however the machine doesn't support RI, or RI is
      disabled for the task, the last lpswe instruction which returns to user
      space will generate a specification exception.
      To fix this check if the RI bit is allowed to be set and kill the task
      if not.
    - In the compat mode signal handler code the RI bit of the psw mask gets
      propagated to the mask of the return psw: if user space enables RI in the
      signal handler, RI will also be enabled after the signal handler is
      finished.
      This is a different behaviour than with 64 bit tasks. So change this to
      match the 64 bit semantics, which restores the original RI bit value.
    - Fix similar oddities within the ptrace code as well.
