powerpc/signal: Properly handle return value from uprobe_deny_signal()

Browse source

commit 46725b17f1 upstream.

When a uprobe is installed on an instruction that we currently do not
emulate, we copy the instruction into a xol buffer and single step
that instruction. If that instruction generates a fault, we abort the
single stepping before invoking the signal handler. Once the signal
handler is done, the uprobe trap is hit again since the instruction is
retried and the process repeats.

We use uprobe_deny_signal() to detect if the xol instruction triggered
a signal. If so, we clear TIF_SIGPENDING and set TIF_UPROBE so that the
signal is not handled until after the single stepping is aborted. In
this case, uprobe_deny_signal() returns true and get_signal() ends up
returning 0. However, in do_signal(), we are not looking at the return
value, but depending on ksig.sig for further action, all with an
uninitialized ksig that is not touched in this scenario. Fix the same
by initializing ksig.sig to 0.
