[PATCH v2] arm: prevent BUG_ON in audit_syscall_entry()

From: AKASHI Takahiro
Date: Wed Oct 01 2014 - 06:46:41 EST


BUG_ON() in audit_syscall_entry() is hit under the following conditions:
1) syscall auditing is enabled (that is, by running auditd).
2) user process issues syscall(-1)
In fact, syscall(-1) just fails (not raising SIGILL, that is an expected
behavior if not audited), and the succeeding syscall will hit this BUG_ON.

Under the current implementation, audit_syscall_entry() is called even
against syscall(-1), but audit_syscall_exit() is not. Because 'in_syscall'
flag in a current thread's audit context is kept on, next called
audit_syscall_entry() will see BUG_ON(in_syscall).

This patch fixes this bug by
1) preventing syscall enter/exit tracing, ftrace tracepoint and audit,
from being executed if an invalid (including -1) or pseudo syscall
number (starting from __NR_ARM_BASE + 1).
Please note that tracehook_report_syscall(PTRACE_SYSCALL_EXIT) is
still executed as it should be paired with
tracehook_report_syscall(PTRACE_SYSCALL_ENTER).

2) handling user-issued syscall(-1) with arm_syscall() for compatibility
if tracing is on.
Since UL(-1) > __NR_ARM_BASE - __NR_SYSCALL_BASE, arm_syscall() is
called at local_restart in entry-common.S if tracing is off.
