      ARC: signal handling robustify · 73a02858
      Vineet Gupta authored
      commit e4140819 upstream.
      
      A malicious signal handler / restorer can DOS the system by fudging the
      user regs saved on stack, causing weird things such as sigreturn returning
      to user mode PC but cpu state still being kernel mode....
      
      Ensure that in sigreturn path status32 always has U bit; any other bogosity
      (gargbage PC etc) will be taken care of by normal user mode exceptions mechanisms.
      
      Reproducer signal handler:
      
          void handle_sig(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
          {
      	ucontext_t *uc = context;
      	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs);
      
      	regs->scratch.status32 = 0;
          }
      
      Before the fix, kernel would go off to weeds like below:
