[PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall restart tracing
Posted by Kees Cook 1 year, 3 months ago
Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store
thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_restart" has
been broken. This was caused by the restart syscall not being stored to
"abi_syscall" during restart setup before branching to the "local_restart"
label. Tracers would see the wrong syscall, and scno would get overwritten
while returning from the TIF_WORK path. Add the missing store.

Looks good to me, as in my previous reply this is safe for all cases
with the current restartable syscalls, though it would be wrong if
we had a restartblock version of epoll_wait on an OABI_COMPAT task,
which needs to look at the high bits of the number to tell which
structure layout to use.

I also looked at my original patch now and see what I did wrong
there.
