linux-toradex.git/arch/x86/include/asm/syscall.h, branch v3.4.78 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules x86: remove the x32 syscall bitmask from syscall_get_nr() 2013-04-12T16:38:45+00:00 Paul Moore pmoore@redhat.com 2013-02-15T17:21:43+00:00 cb96c7c61655ef19d33339f718287a2c2a321e1b commit 8b4b9f27e57584f3d90e0bb84cf800ad81cfe3a1 upstream. Commit fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 simplified the x32 implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32 ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers. This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr() while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr(). Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on x32. I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage seemed fine as well.

commit 8b4b9f27e57584f3d90e0bb84cf800ad81cfe3a1 upstream.

Commit fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall.  While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.

This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit.  While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect.  Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.

I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

x32: Handle the x32 system call flag 2012-02-20T20:52:05+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@zytor.com 2012-02-19T15:56:26+00:00 fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 x32 shares most system calls with x86-64, but unfortunately some subsystem (the input subsystem is the chief offender) which require is_compat() when operating with a 32-bit userspace. The input system actually has text files in sysfs whose meaning is dependent on sizeof(long) in userspace! We could solve this by having two completely disjoint system call tables; requiring that each system call be duplicated. This patch takes a different approach: we add a flag to the system call number; this flag doesn't affect the system call dispatch but requests compat treatment from affected subsystems for the duration of the system call.

x32 shares most system calls with x86-64, but unfortunately some
subsystem (the input subsystem is the chief offender) which require
is_compat() when operating with a 32-bit userspace.  The input system
actually has text files in sysfs whose meaning is dependent on
sizeof(long) in userspace!

We could solve this by having two completely disjoint system call
tables; requiring that each system call be duplicated.  This patch
takes a different approach: we add a flag to the system call number;
this flag doesn't affect the system call dispatch but requests compat
treatment from affected subsystems for the duration of the system call.

The change of cmpq to cmpl is safe since it immediately follows the
