From 30415f6a63f3383a18e9adf7c144acabe6893f63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 21:10:48 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Fix random memory corruption in merged elf.h The merged verison of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS is basically the PPC64 version, with a memset that came from PPC and a few types abstracted out into #defines. But it's not _quite_ right. The first problem is we calculate the number of registers with: nregs = sizeof(struct pt_regs) / sizeof(ELF_GREG_TYPE) For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's bogus because the registers are 64 bits, but ELF_GREG_TYPE is u32, so nregs == 88 which is wrong. The other problem is the memset, which assumes a struct pt_regs is smaller than a struct elf_regs. For a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel that's false. The fix is to calculate the number of regs using sizeof(unsigned long), which should always be right, and just memset the whole damn thing _before_ copying the registers in.
