OK, I THINK I found what calls the actual kernel syscall handler, and
sets it's args first, but I'm not sure:
from linux_locore.s
NON_GPROF_ENTRY(linux_sigcode)
call *LINUX_SIGF_HANDLER(%esp)
leal LINUX_SIGF_SC(%esp),%ebx /* linux scp */
movl LINUX_SC_GS(%ebx),%gs
movl %esp, %ebx /* pass sigframe */
push %eax /* fake ret addr */
movl $LINUX_SYS_linux_sigreturn,%eax /* linux_sigreturn() */
int $0x80 /* enter kernel with args
*/
0: jmp 0b
ALIGN_TEXT
I think the stuff above copies the args, and whatnot, but I'm not really
sure where it does this exactly...
It calls LINUX_SIGF_HANDLER, which then calls %esp's sf_handler function.
That is where I draw a blank, I don't know which function this is calling,
and can't find where it's being set. I think this might be what I want to
change though. :-P
Does anyone who actually knows assembly have any ideas?
