+ ia64-fix-user_stack_pointer-for-ptrace.patch added to -mm tree

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

The patch titled Subject: ia64: fix user_stack_pointer() for ptrace() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ia64-fix-user_stack_pointer-for-ptrace.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ia64-fix-user_stack_pointer-for-p… and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ia64-fix-user_stack_pointer-for-p… Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox(a)gentoo.org> Subject: ia64: fix user_stack_pointer() for ptrace() ia64 has two stacks: - memory stack (or stack), pointed at by by r12 - register backing store (register stack), pointed at ar.bsp/ar.bspstore with complications around dirty register frame on CPU. In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns register stack instead memory stack. The bug comes from the fact that user_stack_pointer() and current_user_stack_pointer() don't return the same register: ulong user_stack_pointer(struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->ar_bspstore; } #define current_user_stack_pointer() (current_pt_regs()->r12) The change gets both back in sync. I think ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO) is the only affected user by this bug on ia64. The change fixes 'rt_sigreturn.gen.test' strace test where it was observed initially.
