Subject: [PATCH] x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 19:57:07 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080229035707.EAE862700FD@magilla.localdomain> (raw)
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior. This patch fixes the problem by
doing sign-extension where it matters. For orig_ax, the only time the
value should be -1 but winds up as 0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace
call. So the patch changes ptrace to sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax
value when it's stored; it doesn't change the checks on orig_ax, though
it uses the new current_syscall() inline to better document the subtle
importance of the used of signedness there. The ax value is stored a
lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all sign-extended at their
origins. So for that, we use the current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend
it only for 32-bit tasks at the time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.
