[PATCH] seccomp: Use -1 marker for end of mode 1 syscall list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The terminator for the mode 1 syscalls list was a 0, but that could be
a valid syscall number (e.g. x86_64 __NR_read). By luck, __NR_read was
listed first and the loop construct would not test it, so there was no
bug. However, this is fragile. Replace the terminator with -1 instead,
and make the variable name for mode 1 syscall lists more descriptive.

I'll be putting this into my for-next/seccomp tree. I would love a MIPS
ack, if someone's got a moment to double-check this. :)
