hurd: Remove the ecx kludge
"We don't need it any more" The INTR_MSG_TRAP macro in intr-msg.h used to play little trick with the stack pointer: it would temporarily save the "real" stack pointer into ecx, while setting esp to point to just before the message buffer, and then invoke the mach_msg trap. This way, INTR_MSG_TRAP reused the on-stack arguments laid out for the containing call of _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg (), passing them to the mach_msg trap directly. This, however, required special support in hurdsig.c and trampoline.c, since they now had to recognize when a thread is inside the piece of code where esp doesn't point to the real tip of the stack, and handle this situation specially. Commit 1d20f33ff4fb634310f27493b7b87d0b20f4a0b0 has removed the actual temporary change of esp by actually re-pushing mach_msg arguments onto the stack, and popping them back at end. It did not, however, deal with the rest of "the ecx kludge" code in other files, resulting in potential crashes if a signal arrives in the middle of pushing arguments onto the stack. Fix that by removing "the ecx kludge". Instead, when we want a thread to skip the RPC, but cannot make just make it jump to after the trap since it's not done adjusting the stack yet, set the SYSRETURN register to MACH_SEND_INTERRUPTED (as we do anyway), and rely on the thread itself for detecting this case and skipping the RPC. This simplifies things somewhat and paves the way for a future x86_64 port of this code. Signed-off-by: Sergey Bugaev <bugaevc@gmail.com> Message-Id: <20230301162355.426887-1-bugaevc@gmail.com>
