[PATCH 3.10 063/319] MIPS: ptrace: Fix regs_return_value for kernel context

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

 



From: Marcin Nowakowski <marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 74f1077b5b783e7bf4fa3007cefdc8dbd6c07518 upstream.

Currently regs_return_value always negates reg[2] if it determines
the syscall has failed, but when called in kernel context this check is
invalid and may result in returning a wrong value.

This fixes errors reported by CONFIG_KPROBES_SANITY_TEST

Fixes: d7e7528bcd45 ("Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h")
