[Regression v4.2 ?] 32-bit seccomp-BPF returned errno values wrong in VM?

[David Drysdale]

Hi folks,

I've got an odd regression with the v4.2 rc kernel, and I wondered if anyone
else could reproduce it.

The problem occurs with a seccomp-bpf filter program that's set up to return
an errno value -- an errno of 1 is always returned instead of what's in the
filter, plus other oddities (selftest output below).

The problem seems to need a combination of circumstances to occur:

 - The seccomp-bpf userspace program needs to be 32-bit, running against a
   64-bit kernel -- I'm testing with seccomp_bpf from
   tools/testing/selftests/seccomp/, built via 'CFLAGS=-m32 make'.

 - The kernel needs to be running as a VM guest -- it occurs inside my
   VMware Fusion host, but not if I run on bare metal.  Kees tells me he
   cannot repro with a kvm guest though.

Bisecting indicates that the commit that induces the problem is
3f5159a9221f19b0, "x86/asm/entry/32: Update -ENOSYS handling to match the
64-bit logic", included in all the v4.2-rc* candidates.

Apologies if I've just got something odd with my local setup, but the
bisection was unequivocal enough that I thought it worth reporting...

Thanks,
David
