The patch below does not apply to the 5.4-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: ptrace: Fix seccomp of traced syscall -1 (NO_SYSCALL)

Since commit f086f67485c5 ("arm64: ptrace: add support for syscall
emulation"), if system call number -1 is called and the process is being
traced with PTRACE_SYSCALL, for example by strace, the seccomp check is
skipped and -ENOSYS is returned unconditionally (unless altered by the
tracer) rather than carrying out action specified in the seccomp filter.

The consequence of this is that it is not possible to reliably strace
a seccomp based implementation of a foreign system call interface in
which r7/x8 is permitted to be -1 on entry to a system call.

Also trace_sys_enter and audit_syscall_entry are skipped if a system
call is skipped.

Fix by removing the in_syscall(regs) check restoring the previous
behaviour which is like AArch32, x86 (which uses generic code) and
everything else.

Looks like simple context mismatch here, the change itself applies
easily. Would you be able to send the backport for v5.4 separately ?

[PATCH] arm64: ptrace: Fix seccomp of traced syscall -1 (NO_SYSCALL)

[Timothy E Baldwin]

commit df84fe94708985cdfb78a83148322bcd0a699472 upstream.

Backported to Linux 5.4 by changing "return NO_SYSCALL" to "return -1"
in patch context.

Since commit f086f67485c5 ("arm64: ptrace: add support for syscall
emulation"), if system call number -1 is called and the process is being
traced with PTRACE_SYSCALL, for example by strace, the seccomp check is
skipped and -ENOSYS is returned unconditionally (unless altered by the
tracer) rather than carrying out action specified in the seccomp filter.

The consequence of this is that it is not possible to reliably strace
a seccomp based implementation of a foreign system call interface in
which r7/x8 is permitted to be -1 on entry to a system call.

Also trace_sys_enter and audit_syscall_entry are skipped if a system
call is skipped.

Fix by removing the in_syscall(regs) check restoring the previous
behaviour which is like AArch32, x86 (which uses generic code) and
everything else.

Thanks for the backport, now queued up.
