From 74f1077b5b783e7bf4fa3007cefdc8dbd6c07518 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcin Nowakowski Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2016 09:32:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: ptrace: Fix regs_return_value for kernel context Currently regs_return_value always negates reg[2] if it determines the syscall has failed, but when called in kernel context this check is invalid and may result in returning a wrong value. This fixes errors reported by CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST Fixes: d7e7528bcd45 ("Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h") Signed-off-by: Marcin Nowakowski Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.3+ Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14381/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle --- arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h b/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h index f6fc6aa..b657861 100644 --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/ptrace.h @@ -152,7 +152,7 @@ static inline int is_syscall_success(struct pt_regs *regs) static inline long regs_return_value(struct pt_regs *regs) { - if (is_syscall_success(regs)) + if (is_syscall_success(regs) || !user_mode(regs)) return regs->regs[2]; else return -regs->regs[2]; -- 2.7.4
