If we go this way, I'd also recommend to treat any situation where
__rseq_abi.cpu_id is already initialized as a fatal error. Does the
code below seem OK to you ?
static inline void
rseq_register_current_thread (void)
{
int ret;
if (__rseq_abi.cpu_id != RSEQ_CPU_ID_UNINITIALIZED)
__libc_fatal ("rseq already initialized for this thread\n");
ret = INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL (rseq, &__rseq_abi, sizeof (struct rseq),
0, RSEQ_SIG);
if (INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P (ret))
{
if (INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERRNO (ret) == EBUSY)
__libc_fatal ("rseq already registered for this thread\n");
__rseq_abi.cpu_id = RSEQ_CPU_ID_REGISTRATION_FAILED;
}
}
Thanks,
Mathieu
