Subject: MIPS: scall64-o32: Fix indirect syscall detection
From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5245689900804604fdc349c8d9b8985b0e401ae2 upstream.
Commit 4c21b8fd8f14 (MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32))
added indirect syscall detection for O32 processes running on MIPS64
but it did not work as expected. The reason is the the scall64-o32
implementation differs compared to scall32-o32. In the former, the v0
(syscall number) register contains the absolute syscall number
(4000 + X) whereas in the latter it contains the relative syscall
number (X). Fix the code to avoid doing an extra addition, and load
the v0 register directly to the first argument for syscall_trace_enter.
Moreover, set the .reorder assembler option in order to have better
control on this part of the assembly code.
