Here is my analysis with a small code:
Summary:
If we include signal.h from usr/include: MINSIGSTKSZ -----> 4096 ###TC FAIL
If we explicitly include signal.h from "/usr/include/asm-powerpc/signal.h" :
MINSIGSTKSZ -----> 2048 ###TC case PASS
In my opinion glibc should be taken care to point to right signal.h when
an appln includes signal.h, I'm not sure which signal.h to use if we
include explicitely from #include "/usr/include/asm-powerpc/signal.h"
Test case works fine.
Conclusion: It does not seems to be a test case issue.
root@ubuntuk60:~# cat s1.c
/*
* TC1:
* sigaltstack() should fails and sets errno to ENOMEM when the size of
alternate
* stack area is less than MINSIGSTKSZ.
*/
#include <stdio.h>
//#include <signal.h>
#include "/usr/include/asm-powerpc/signal.h"
#include <errno.h>
int main()
{
stack_t sigstk; /* signal stack storing struct. */
int rc;
sigstk.ss_size = MINSIGSTKSZ - 1;
sigstk.ss_flags = 0;
printf ("MINSTKSZ = %d\n", MINSIGSTKSZ);
/* Verify sigaltstack() fails and sets errno */
rc = sigaltstack(&sigstk, (stack_t *) 0);
if (rc < 0)
{
// TC pass if rc < 0
printf ("FAILED: rc = %d, errono = %d\n", rc, errno);
}
else {
printf ("PASS: rc = %d, errono = %d\n", rc, errno);
}
}
output TC PASS: used with #include "/usr/include/asm-powerpc/signal.h"
root@ubuntuk60:~# ./a.out
MINSTKSZ = 2048
FAILED: rc = -1, errono = 12
output TC FAILED: used with #include <signal.h>
root@ubuntuk60:~# ./a.out
MINSTKSZ = 4096
PASS: rc = 0, errono = 0
The same behavior on LE Ubuntu as well.

Title:
LTP sigaltstack02 test failure -- MINSIGSTKSZ in userspace missmatches
kernel (was: sigaltstack system call unable to send proper return code
(error12))
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
9.3.189.114 (root/.pasroot) (Host Machine)
Run the follwoing command to go to the guest victim machine from
(/var/lib/libvirt/images/jagan/new_ubuntu_alpha1)
qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -cpu POWER8 -smp 1 -m 10G
-nographic -nodefaults -monitor stdio -serial pty -append
"root=/dev/sda" -kernel trusty-server-cloudimg-ppc64el-vmlinuz-generic
-device spapr-vscsi -device spapr-
vlan,netdev=net0,mac=6c:ae:8b:69:16:15 -netdev
bridge,br=virbr0,id=net0 -drive file=trusty-server-cloudimg-
ppc64el.img.qcow2
after this command you will get the screen number.
example:
QEMU 1.6.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) char device redirected to /dev/pts/16 (label serial0)
Then open another host session and execute the below command
# screen /dev/pts/16
(qemu)
Here the screen number is /dev/pts/16
-->>Then you will get a blank screen so press ENTER key.
The guest machine login: ubuntu/passw0rd
Then do --->sudo -i
Environment:
===========
Host: Power8
Guest : ubuntu hosted on Power8
The issue:
======
sigaltstack system call unable send proper return value.
How to run :
========
-->cd /root/ltp-full-20130904/testcases/kernel/syscalls/sigaltstack
--> ./sigaltstack02 ==> Getting the below error
sigaltstack02 1 TPASS : stgaltstack() fails, Invalid Flag value,
errno:22
sigaltstack02 2 TFAIL : sigaltstack() returned 0, expected -1, errno:12

sigaltstack() should fail and set errno to ENOMEM when the size of alternate
stack area is less than MINSIGSTKSZ.
But here its sigaltstack() is returning 0.
