Subject: sparc64: don't treat 64-bit syscall return codes as 32-bit
From: Dave Kleikamp <dave.kleikamp@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1535bd8adbdedd60a0ee62e28fd5225d66434371 ]
When checking a system call return code for an error,
linux_sparc_syscall was sign-extending the lower 32-bit value and
comparing it to -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. lseek can return valid return
codes whose lower 32-bits alone would indicate a failure (such as 4G-1).
Use the whole 64-bit value to check for errors. Only the 32-bit path
should sign extend the lower 32-bit value.
