parisc: fix bug in compat_arch_ptrace
Commit 81e192d6ce303b6792aa38ff35f41a1a7357f23a ("parisc: convert to generic compat_sys_ptrace") introduced a bug which segfaults the parisc 64bit kernel when stracing 32bit applications: Kernel Fault: Code=15 regs=00000000bafa42b0 (Addr=00000001baf5ab57) YZrvWESTHLNXBCVMcbcbcbcbOGFRQPDI PSW: 00001000000001101111111100001011 Tainted: G W r00-03 000000ff0806ff0b 000000004068edc0 00000000401203f8 00000000fb3e2508 r04-07 0000000040686dc0 00000000baf5a800 fffffffffffffffc fffffffffb3e2508 r08-11 00000000baf5a800 000000000004b068 00000000000402b0 0000000000040d68 r12-15 0000000000042a9c 0000000000040a9c 0000000000040d60 0000000000042e9c r16-19 000000000004b060 000000000004b058 0000000000042d9c ffffffffffffffff r20-23 000000000800000b 0000000000000000 000000000800000b fffffffffb3e2508 r24-27 00000000fffffffc 0000000000000003 00000000fffffffc 0000000040686dc0 r28-31 00000001baf5a7ff 00000000bafa4280 00000000bafa42b0 00000000000001d7 sr00-03 0000000000fca000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000fca000 sr04-07 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IASQ: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 IAOQ: 0000000040120400 0000000040120404 IIR: 4b9a06b0 ISR: 0000000000000000 IOR: 00000001baf5ab57 CPU: 0 CR30: 00000000bafa4000 CR31: 00000000d22344e0 ORIG_R28: 00000000fb3e2248 IAOQ[0]: compat_arch_ptrace+0xb8/0x160 IAOQ[1]: compat_arch_ptrace+0xbc/0x160 RP(r2): compat_arch_ptrace+0xb0/0x160 Backtrace: [<00000000401612ac>] compat_sys_ptrace+0x15c/0x180 [<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14 The problem is that compat_arch_ptrace() enters with an addr value of type compat_ulong_t and calls translate_usr_offset() to translate the address offset into a struct pt_regs offset like this: addr = translate_usr_offset(addr) this means that any return value of translate_usr_offset() is stored back as compat_ulong_t type into the addr variable. But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory: if (addr < 0) break; Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value "sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator. Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs). This patch survived my compile and run-tests.
