This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm-ptrace-restore-syscall-skipping-for-tracers.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6f8f94ff4b7c8a45bd27c902e2470b74ff5a5f3c Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 10 12:54:19 2023 -0700 ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers [ Upstream commit 4697b5848bd933f68ebd04836362c8de0cacaf71 ] Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno" and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(). Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(), leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls again.
