It was brought to my attention that this bug from 2018 was
still unresolved: 32 bit emulators like QEMU were given
64 bit hashes when running 32 bit emulation on 64 bit systems.
This adds a fcntl() operation to set the underlying filesystem
into 32bit mode even if the file hanle was opened using 64bit
mode without the compat syscalls.
Programs that need the 32 bit file system behavior need to
issue a fcntl() system call such as in this example:
#define F_SET_FILE_32BIT_FS (1024 + 15)
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
DIR* dir;
int err;
int fd;
dir = opendir("/boot");
fd = dirfd(dir);
err = fcntl(fd, F_SET_FILE_32BIT_FS);
if (err) {
printf("fcntl() failed! err=%d\n", err);
return 1;
}
printf("dir=%p\n", dir);
printf("readdir(dir)=%p\n", readdir(dir));
printf("errno=%d: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));
return 0;
}
This can be pretty hard to test since C libraries and linux
userspace security extensions aggressively filter the parameters
that are passed down and allowed to commit into actual system
calls.
