The problem occurs [1] when a kernel-mode task returns from a system
call with a pending signal.
A real-life scenario is a child of 'khelper' returning from a failed
kernel_execve() in ____call_usermodehelper() [ kernel/kmod.c ].
kernel_execve() fails due to a pending SIGKILL, which is the result of
"kill -9 -1" (at least, busybox's init does it upon reboot).
The loop is as follows:
* syscall_exit_work:
- work_pending: // start_of_the_loop
- work_notifysig:
- do_notify_resume()
- do_signal()
- if (!user_mode(regs)) return;
- resume_userspace // TIF_SIGPENDING is still set
- work_pending // so we call work_pending => goto
// start_of_the_loop
More information can be found in another LKML thread:
http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?12,457826
[1] The problem was also reproduced on !CONFIG_VM86 x86, and the
following fix was accepted.

By using the native syscall entry point the kernel was also expecting
64-bit iovec structures.
This is broken since ddd9e91b71072b8ebe89311c3a44b077defa1756 [preadv/
pwritev: MIPS: Add preadv(2) and pwritev(2) syscalls.] which originally
added these two syscalls. I walked through piles of code, including
libc and couldn't find anything that would have worked around the issue
so this change the API to what it should always have been.

Without this, we may end up with something like this in /proc/iomem:
01100000-014fffff : System RAM
01100000-013bf48f : Kernel code
013bf490-0149e01f : Kernel data
01500000-0c0fffff : System RAM
but the two System RAM ranges should be one single range. This particular
case will result in kexec failure on Octeon systems if the kernel being
loaded by kexec is bigger than the already running kernel.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it
crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds
an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature
looks like this:
kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test
KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed
Call Trace:
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type
is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed
to happen.

The #ifdef for CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS is not needed because the
Makefile will only compile the module if this config option is set.
This means that the code under #else would never be compiled. This
may have been done to leave the original broken code around for

broken code.

Change the indicator from 0xffffffff in the "event_id" member to
zero in the "cntr_mask" member. This removes the need to initialize
entries that are unsupported. This also solves a problem where the
number of entries in the table was increased based on a globel enum
used for all platforms, but the new unsupported entries were not added
for mips. This was leaving new table entries of all zeros that we not
marked UNSUPPORTED.

We can save an instruction in the TLB Refill path for kernel mappings
by aligning swapper_pg_dir on a 64K boundary. The address of
swapper_pg_dir can be generated with a single LUI instead of
LUI/{D}ADDUI.
The alignment of __init_end is bumped up to 64K so there are no holes
between it and swapper_pg_dir, which is placed at the very beginning
of .bss.
The alignment of invalid_pmd_table and invalid_pte_table can be
relaxed to PAGE_SIZE. We do this by using __page_aligned_bss, which
has the added benefit of eliminating alignment holes in .bss.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
(*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
mod_arch_specific struct.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes
the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
(*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes
the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.
With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
