It’s entirely valid to have a non working restorer if you never plan to return 
from a signal handler. And anyone who writes their own libc should be able to 
figure this out on their own, I think.

It’s entirely valid to have a non working restorer if you never plan to return 
from a signal handler. And anyone who writes their own libc should be able to 
figure this out on their own, I think.

Yes, the vdso was explicitly disabled by the tester. Thanks.

The use of signals without SA_RESTORER is considered obsolete, but it's 
somewhat surprising that the vdso isn't there; it should be mapped even for 
static binaries esp. on i386 since it is the preferred way to do system calls 
(you don't need to parse the ELF for that.) Are you explicitly disabling the 
VDSO? If so, Don't Do That.

I can't tell from your email what you're testing, what behavior you
expect, and what you saw.  A program that sets up a signal handler
without supplying a restorer will not work if the vDSO is off, and
this is by design.

(FWIW, there is a very longstanding libc bug that causes this case to
get severely screwed up if the user's SS is not the expected value,
and that bug was just fixed very recently.  But I doubt this is what
you're seeing.)

I suppose we could improve the kernel to at least push NULL instead of
some random address a bit above 0, but it'll still crash.

I found that glibc has already dealt with this case. So this issue must have 
been met before, should it be maintained by libc/user?

if (GLRO(dl_sysinfo_dso) == NULL)
{
kact.sa_flags |= SA_RESTORER;

kact.sa_restorer = ((act->sa_flags & SA_SIGINFO)
? _rt : );
