SIGINT Issues with Zeus Migration

Aashik Aswin
 

Hello Developers,

I recently migrated all my platform Recipes from Thud (Linux 4.19) to Zeus (5.4). I understand there might be compatibility issues and was able to fix most of them.

However one issue I am facing is that in the newly migrated Zeus Image is that I am not able to send SIGINT to commands such as Ping, tail etc. I am only able to run them in non-interactive mode. I have to reboot the box if I executed those above commands in interactive mode. 

Can anyone suggest which recipe/config can be a good starting point?

Please let me know your suggestions.

Thanks,
Aashik

...that I am not able to send SIGINT to commands such as Ping, tail etc.
Please, do the following: issue in zeus xterm the command: man signal
and read it.

Then execute the following code (ad-hoc from the top of my head):

#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
sighandler_t signal_handler;
sighandler_t signal(int signum, sighandler_t handler);

int main() {
signal_handler = signal(SIGINT, SIG_DFL);
printf ("Old signal handler is 0x%x\n", signal_handler);
}

Where the following is also known:
#define SIG_ERR ((__sighandler_t) -1) /* Error return. */
#define SIG_DFL ((__sighandler_t) 0) /* Default action. */
#define SIG_IGN ((__sighandler_t) 1) /* Ignore signal. */

This program serves the double purpose:
[1] Gives you the address of the old SIGINT handler which was executed
prior execution of this code;
[2] After execution, repeat the routine (ping) and see if <ctrl c>
terminates the ping process.

All other comments are obvious (testing the Zeus SIGINT signal, yada
yada yada... ;-)

Aashik, how are you sending the signal? Using CTRL-C or using the
"kill" command?


Please, do the following: issue in zeus xterm the command: man signal
and read it.
That reads to use sigaction() instead of signal() I would assume.

Zoran, are you suggesting that program will change the signal handler
to default even after it has exited, and for the subsequent ping
command?

Hello Leon,

Aashik, how are you sending the signal? Using CTRL-C or
using the "kill" command?
This is a good suggestion for the test. To open another terminal and
issue: kill -SIGINT <ping PID>.

I should add that this MUST work: kill -SIGKILL <ping PID>, since
SIGKILL handler is un-preemptable.

If it does not, something is very wrong... I suggest, Aashik, you
write YOCTO bugzilla for Zeus.

Zoran, are you suggesting that the program will change the signal
handler to default even after it has exited, and for the subsequent
ping command?
Yes, I do. Then, the ping command should be issued again, and my best
guess is, it should terminate the ping process.

Leon, you should try to write another C f-n and to install other
SIGINT handler (replacing SIG_DFL), then test it with my original C:

void myhandler(int signum) {
if (SIGINT == signum)
printf("\nHey, I got SIGINT: %d\n\n",signum);
}

Hi Leon, Zoran

I am using Ctrl+C to kill the Ping command.


Thanks.

Hello Aashik,

I recognize the issue that CTRL-C does not pass from the console, but only with *very* minimal configurations.

How does your local.conf look like, or better yet how can we reproduce your case?

Regards, Leon
