commit 46725b17f1c6c815a41429259b3f070c01e71bc1 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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
