In restore_tm_sigcontexts() we take the trap value directly from the user sigcontext with no checking: err |= __get_user(regs->trap, &sc->gp_regs[PT_TRAP]); This means we can be in the kernel with an arbitrary regs->trap value. Although that's not immediately problematic, there is a risk we could trigger one of the uses of CHECK_FULL_REGS(): #define CHECK_FULL_REGS(regs) BUG_ON(regs->trap & 1) It can also cause us to unnecessarily save non-volatile GPRs again in save_nvgprs(), which shouldn't be problematic but is still wrong. It's also possible it could trick the syscall restart machinery, which relies on regs->trap not being == 0xc00 (see |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
