commit 4302e5d53b9166d45317e3ddf0a7a9dab3efd43b upstream.

This is a build fix required after "x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall
hole" (commit 5b1017404aea6d2e552e991b3fd814d839e9cd67).  MIPS doesn't
have the issue that was fixed for x86-64 by that patch.

This also doesn't solve the N32 issue which is that N32 seccomp processes
will be treated as non-compat processes thus only have access to N64
syscalls.

commit 5b1017404aea6d2e552e991b3fd814d839e9cd67 upstream.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.
