Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] arm64: syscall: Pass 'orig_x0' as first argument to native system call
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 14:26:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730132651.25993-3-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730132651.25993-1-will@kernel.org>
syscall_get_arguments() returns 'regs->orig_x0' for the first system
call argument so as to avoid aliasing with the syscall return value in
'regs->regs[0]' on the return path, however the actual syscall
invocation passes 'regs->regs[0]' as the first parameter.
Although the two registers should be kept in sync during syscall entry
for native tasks, pass 'regs->orig_x0' as the first syscall parameter
for consistency with the syscall argument APIs. Compat tasks continue to
use 'regs->regs[0]' for compatibility with the behaviour of the 32-bit
kernel.
