The syscall_trace on ARM takes a `why' parameter to indicate whether or not we are entering or exiting a system call. This can be confusing for people looking at the code since (a) it conflicts with the why register alias in the entry assembly code and (b) it is not immediately clear what it represents. This patch splits up the syscall_trace function into separate wrappers for syscall entry and exit, allowing the low-level syscall handling code to branch to the appropriate function.

When auditing system calls on ARM, the audit code is called before notifying the parent process in the case that the current task is being ptraced. At this point, the parent (debugger) may choose to change the system call being issued via the SET_SYSCALL ptrace request, causing the wrong system call to be reported to the audit tools. This patch moves the audit calls after the ptrace SIGTRAP handling code in the syscall tracing implementation.

ret_from_fork is setup for a freshly spawned child task via copy_thread, called from copy_process. The latter function clears TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE and also resets the child task's audit_context to NULL, meaning that there is little point invoking the system call tracing routines. Furthermore, getting hold of the syscall number is a complete pain and it looks like the current code doesn't even bother. This patch removes the syscall tracing checks from ret_from_fork.

The audit tools support only EABI userspace and, since there are no AUDIT_ARCH_* defines for the ARM OABI, it makes sense to allow syscall auditing on ARM only for EABI at the moment.

We already use them for openat() and friends, but fchdir() also wants to be able to use O_PATH file descriptors. This should make it comparable to the O_SEARCH of Solaris. In particular, O_PATH allows you to access (not-quite-open) a directory you don't have read persmission to, only execute permission. Noticed during development of multithread support for ksh93.

File operations on /dev/ecryptfs would BUG() when the operations were performed by processes other than the process that originally opened the file. This could happen with open files inherited after fork() or file descriptors passed through IPC mechanisms. Rather than calling BUG(), an error code can be safely returned in most situations. In ecryptfs_miscdev_release(), eCryptfs still needs to handle the release even if the last file reference is being held by a process that didn't originally open the file. ecryptfs_find_daemon_by_euid() will not be successful, so a pointer to the daemon is stored in the file's private_data. The private_data pointer is initialized when the miscdev file is opened and only used when the file is released. https://launchpad.net/bugs/994247Signed-off-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@canonical.com> Reported-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com> Tested-by: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@gmail.com>

This reverts commit 6b5c8045. Conflicts: arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to restart the originally interrupted system call. The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

Ocfs2 uses kiocb.*private as a flag of unsigned long size. In commit a11f7e63 ocfs2: serialize unaligned aio, the unaligned io flag is involved in it to serialize the unaligned aio. As *private is not initialized in init_sync_kiocb() of do_sync_write(), this unaligned io flag may be unexpectly set in an aligned dio. And this will cause OCFS2_I(inode)->ip_unaligned_aio decreased to -1 in ocfs2_dio_end_io(), thus the following unaligned dio will hang forever at ocfs2_aiodio_wait() in ocfs2_file_aio_write().
