    arm64: fix compat syscall return truncation · e30e8d46
    Mark Rutland authored
    Due to inconsistencies in the way we manipulate compat GPRs, we have a
    few issues today:
    
    * For audit and tracing, where error codes are handled as a (native)
      long, negative error codes are expected to be sign-extended to the
      native 64-bits, or they may fail to be matched correctly. Thus a
      syscall which fails with an error may erroneously be identified as
      failing.
    
    * For ptrace, *all* compat return values should be sign-extended for
      consistency with 32-bit arm, but we currently only do this for
      negative return codes.
    
    * As we may transiently set the upper 32 bits of some compat GPRs while
      in the kernel, these can be sampled by perf, which is somewhat
      confusing. This means that where a syscall returns a pointer above 2G,
      this will be sign-extended, but will not be mistaken for an error as
      error codes are constrained to the inclusive range [-4096, -1] where
      no user pointer can exist.
    
    To fix all of these, we must consistently use helpers to get/set the
    compat GPRs, ensuring that we never write the upper 32 bits of the
    return code, and always sign-extend when reading the return code.  This
    patch does so, with the following changes:
    
    * We re-organise syscall_get_return_value() to always sign-extend for
      compat tasks, and reimplement syscall_get_error() atop. We update
      syscall_trace_exit() to use syscall_get_return_value().
    
    * We consistently use syscall_set_return_value() to set the return
      value, ensureing the upper 32 bits are never set unexpectedly.
    
    * As the core audit code currently uses regs_return_value() rather than
      syscall_get_return_value(), we special-case this for
      compat_user_mode(regs) such that this will do the right thing. Going
      forward, we should try to move the core audit code over to
      syscall_get_return_value().
