From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 61bf318eac2c13356f7bd1c6a05421ef504ccc8a ] In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that `ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` does not return error sign properly. The bug is in mismatch between get/set errors: static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->r10 == -1 ? regs->r8:0; } static inline long syscall_get_return_value(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->r8; } static inline void syscall_set_return_value(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs, int error, long val) { if (error) { /* error < 0, but ia64 uses > 0 return value */ regs->r8 = -error; regs->r10 = -1; } else { regs->r8 = val; regs->r10 = 0; } } Tested on v5.10 on rx3600 machine (ia64 9040 CPU).
