This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled LoongArch: Preserve syscall nr across execve() 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: loongarch-preserve-syscall-nr-across-execve.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 1ca24a1f8d915f6f402eace76ad3d8ac9a7121f4 Author: Hengqi Chen <hengqi.chen@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 9 15:49:15 2023 +0800 LoongArch: Preserve syscall nr across execve() [ Upstream commit d6c5f06e46a836e6a70c7cfd95bb38a67d9252ec ] Currently, we store syscall nr in pt_regs::regs[11] and syscall execve() accidentally overrides it during its execution: sys_execve() -> do_execve() -> do_execveat_common() -> bprm_execve() -> exec_binprm() -> search_binary_handler() -> load_elf_binary() -> ELF_PLAT_INIT() ELF_PLAT_INIT() reset regs[11] to 0, so in syscall_exit_to_user_mode() we later get a wrong syscall nr. This breaks tools like execsnoop since it relies on execve() tracepoints. Skip pt_regs::regs[11] reset in ELF_PLAT_INIT() to fix the issue.
