Subject: [PATCH 4.4 053/112] MIPS: ptrace: Fix regs_return_value for kernel context
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 14:22:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161026122307.043285041@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161026122304.797016625@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com>

commit 74f1077b5b783e7bf4fa3007cefdc8dbd6c07518 upstream.

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")
