[PATCH] nptl improve tst-context1.c to catch buffer overruns, 2nd


Oops attached the wrong patch the previous email this topic. This email includes the correct patch.

This patch improves the coverage of tst-context1.c to check for buffer overruns of the ucontext struct in the get/swapcontext functions.

Defined a new struct tst_context_t to append guard words following each ucontext_t in the ctx array. Function tf() initializes the guard words and uc_link before calls to makecontext and swapcontext. Then fct() can check for any changes to the guard words and verify that uc_link is still valid.

2004-06-15  Steven Munroe  <sjmunroe@us.ibm.com>

	* tst-context1.c (GUARD_PATTERN): Defined.
	(tst_context_t): Define struct containing ucontext_t & guard words.
	(ctx): Declare as an array of tst_context_t.
	(fct): Verify uc_link & guard words are still valid.
	(tf): Initialize guard words in ctx.  Adjust ctx refs for new struct.
