commit 56062d60f117dccfb5281869e0ab61e090baf864 upstream.

Presently ia32 registers stored in ptregs are unconditionally cast to
unsigned int by the ia32 stub. They are then cast to long when passed to
__se_sys*, but will not be sign extended.

This takes the sign of the syscall argument into account in the ia32
stub. It still casts to unsigned int to avoid implementation specific
behavior. However then casts to int or unsigned int as necessary. So that
the following cast to long sign extends the value.

This fixes the io_pgetevents02 LTP test when compiled with -m32. Presently
the systemcall io_pgetevents_time64() unexpectedly accepts -1 for the
maximum number of events.

It doesn't appear other systemcalls with signed arguments are effected
because they all have compat variants defined and wired up.

Fixes: ebeb8c82ffaf ("syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32")

commit 6e4847640c6aebcaa2d9b3686cecc91b41f09269 upstream.

Define a weak function in COND_SYSCALL instead of a weak alias to
sys_ni_syscall(), which has an incompatible type. This fixes indirect
call mismatches with Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

commit cf3b83e19d7c928e05a5d193c375463182c6029a upstream.

x86 has special handling for COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx, but there was
no override for COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0.  Wire it up so that we can
use it for rt_sigreturn.

<title>syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming convention</title>

<id>5ac9efa3c50d7caff9f3933bb8a3ad1139d92d92</id>
<content type='text'>
Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
macro.

For the generic case, this means:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

T   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T        compat_sys_waitid      # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
				# (taking parameters as declared), to
				# be included in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

t   __se_compat_sys_waitid      # sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
macro.

For the generic case, this means:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

T   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T        compat_sys_waitid      # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
				# (taking parameters as declared), to
				# be included in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

    __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

t   __se_compat_sys_waitid      # sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
				# the declared type)

T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub,
				# calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be

T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub, calls
				# __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included
				# in syscall table

If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid()
may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().

Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

 810f1aa0 T   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
				# casts them to the declared type)

 810f1aa0 T        sys_waitid	# alias to __se_sys_waitid() (taking
				# parameters as declared), to be included
				# in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

 810efc70 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 &lt;inline&gt;     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

 810efd60 t   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
				# casts them to the declared type)

 810f1140 T __ia32_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub,
				# calls __se_sys_waitid(); to be included
				# in syscall table

 810f1110 T        sys_waitid	# x86 64-bit-ptregs -&gt; C stub, calls
				# __se_sys_waitid(); to be included in
				# syscall table

For x86, sys_waitid() will be re-named to __x64_sys_waitid in a follow-up
patch.

<title>syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32</title>

Extend ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER for i386 emulation and for x32 on 64-bit
x86.

For x32, all we need to do is to create an additional stub for each
compat syscall which decodes the parameters in x86-64 ordering, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_x32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;di, regs-&gt;si, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

For i386 emulation, we need to teach compat_sys_*() to take struct
pt_regs as its only argument, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;bx, regs-&gt;cx, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

In addition, we need to create additional stubs for common syscalls
(that is, for syscalls which have the same parameters on 32-bit and
64-bit), e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_sys_xyzzy(regs-&gt;bx, regs-&gt;cx, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept

<title>syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for 64-bit syscalls</title>

Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems:

Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only
argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g:

	asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return SyS_xyzzy(regs-&gt;di, regs-&gt;si, regs-&gt;dx);
	}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly
now is (in slightly reordered fashion):

	&lt;sys_recv&gt;:
		callq	&lt;__fentry__&gt;

		/* decode regs-&gt;di, -&gt;si, -&gt;dx and -&gt;r10 */
		mov	0x70(%rdi),%rdi
		mov	0x68(%rdi),%rsi
		mov	0x60(%rdi),%rdx
		mov	0x38(%rdi),%rcx

		[ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler,
		  as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ]
		/* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */
		xor	%r9d,%r9d
		xor	%r8d,%r8d

		/* do the actual work */
		callq	__sys_recvfrom

		/* cleanup and return */
		cltq
		retq

The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls
a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified
to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well.

To keep the syscall table generation working independent of
SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the
"original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*().

and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being,
and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.
