[PATCH] Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h

Eric Paris eparis at redhat.com
Fri Jun 3 07:04:58 EST 2011


The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify by
converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code.  But the ptrace_64.h code was previously using regs[3] for the
regs_return_value().  I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now
uses regs[3].
