Wait... readv(2) defines: =09ssize_t readv(int fd, const struct iovec *iov, int iovcnt); But the syscall is defined as: SYSCALL_DEFINE3(readv, unsigned long, fd, const struct iovec __user *, vec, unsigned long, vlen) { return do_readv(fd, vec, vlen, 0); } I'm guessing that nothing actually masks the high bits that come from an application that is compiled with clang? The vlen is 'unsigned long' through the first few calls. So unless there is a non-inlined function than takes vlen as 'int' the high garbage bits from userspace are kept. Which makes it a bug in the kernel C syscall wrappers. They need to explicitly mask the high bits of 32bit arguments on arm64 but not x86-64. What does the ARM EABI say about register parameters? =09David - Registered Address Lakeside, Bramley Road, Mount Farm, Milton Keynes, MK1 1= PT, UK Registration No: 1397386 (Wales)
