I'm testing glibc on MIPS64, little-endian, N32, O32 and N64 multilibs. Among the NPTL test failures seen are some arising from sigsuspend problems for N32: it blocks the wrong signals, so SIGCANCEL (SIGRTMIN) is blocked despite glibc's carefully excluding it from sets of signals to block. Specifically, testing suggests it blocks signal N^32 instead of signal N, so (in the example tested) blocking SIGUSR1 (17) blocks signal 49 instead. glibc's sigset_t uses an array of unsigned long, as does the kernel. In both cases, signal N+1 is represented as (1UL << (N % (8 * sizeof (unsigned long)))) in word number (N / (8 * sizeof (unsigned long))). Thus the N32 glibc uses an array of 32-bit words and the N64 kernel uses an array of 64-bit words. For little-endian, the layout is the same, with signals 1-32 in the first 4 bytes, signals 33-64 in the second, etc.; for big-endian, userspace has that layout while in the kernel each 8 bytes have the two halves swapped from the userspace layout. The N32 sigsuspend syscall uses sigset_from_compat to convert the userspace sigset to kernel format. If __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ is *not* set, this uses logic of the form set->sig[0] = compat->sig[0] | (((long)compat->sig[1]) << 32 ) to convert the userspace sigset to a kernel one. This looks correct to me for both big and little endian, given that in userspace compat->sig[1] will represent signals 33-64, and so will the high 32 bits of set->sig[0] in the kernel. If however __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__ *is* set, as it is for __MIPSEL__, it uses set->sig[0] = compat->sig[1] | (((long)compat->sig[0]) << 32 ); which seems incorrect for both big and little endian, and would explain the observed symptoms. This code is the only use of __COMPAT_ENDIAN_SWAP__, so if incorrect then that macro serves no purpose, in which case something like the following patch would seem appropriate to remove it.
