Linux Operating System Source Code: IBM Patches

 
s390 backchain pointer fix
Description:
The backchain pointer was not being set in the stack frame during signal handling. Patch applies to 2.2 and 2.4 trees.
Developers:
Judy Barkal, Mark Price
Status:
Submitted to project
Relevant Architectures:
S390-31, S390-64

Notes:

Fixed the backchain pointer in a call to setup_frame_common() in arch/s390/kernel/signal.c

This fixes a bug when the glibc call backtrace() is called and the process core dumps due to falling off the front of the stack.
