Subject: [RFC PATCH] sys_read: add a compat_sys_read for 64bit system
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 09:33:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <575775FA.1080009@huawei.com> (raw)

Test 32 progress and 64 progress on the 64bit system with
this progress:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        int fd = 0;
        int i, ret = 0;
        char buf[512];
        unsigned long count = -1;

        fd = open("/tmp", O_RDONLY);
        if (fd < -1) {
                printf("Pls check the directory is exist?\n");
                return -1;
        }
        errno = 0;
        ret = read(fd, NULL, count);
        printf("Ret is %d errno %d\n", ret, errno);
        close(fd);

        return 0;
}

we get the different errno. The 64 progress we get errno is -14 while
the 32 progress is -21.

The reason is that, the user progress would use a 32bit count, while
the sys_read size_t in kernel is 64bit.  When the uesrspace count is
-1(0xffffffff), it goes to the sys_read, it would be change to a positive
number.

So I think we should add a compat_sys_read for the read syscall. I test it
on x86 or arm64 platform. The patch works well.

As well this patch may do work for the 'tile' 64 system.
I think it may enter the same result on mips/parisc/powerpc/sparc.
The s390 do the compat_sys_s390_read for the compat sys_read.
