Subject: [ 01/55] tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support
Date: Sun, 27 May 2012 09:26:14 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120527002613.721453292@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120527005203.GA2146@kroah.com>

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

commit e6d9668e119af44ae5bcd5f1197174531458afe3 upstream.

Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
for 32-bit values.  The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.

On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
in 2.6.28.6.  The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.
