arm64: fix compat syscall return truncation
commit e30e8d46cf605d216a799a28c77b8a41c328613a upstream. Due to inconsistencies in the way we manipulate compat GPRs, we have a few issues today: * For audit and tracing, where error codes are handled as a (native) long, negative error codes are expected to be sign-extended to the native 64-bits, or they may fail to be matched correctly. Thus a syscall which fails with an error may erroneously be identified as failing. * For ptrace, *all* compat return values should be sign-extended for consistency with 32-bit arm, but we currently only do this for negative return codes. * As we may transiently set the upper 32 bits of some compat GPRs while in the kernel, these can be sampled by perf, which is somewhat confusing. This means that where a syscall returns a pointer above 2G, this will be sign-extended, but will not be mistaken for an error as error codes are constrained to the inclusive range [-4096, -1] where no user pointer can exist. To fix all of these, we must consistently use helpers to get/set the compat GPRs, ensuring that we never write the upper 32 bits of the return code, and always sign-extend when reading the return code. This patch does so, with the following changes: * We re-organise syscall_get_return_value() to always sign-extend for compat tasks, and reimplement syscall_get_error() atop. We update syscall_trace_exit() to use syscall_get_return_value(). * We consistently use syscall_set_return_value() to set the return value, ensureing the upper 32 bits are never set unexpectedly. * As the core audit code currently uses regs_return_value() rather than syscall_get_return_value(), we special-case this for compat_user_mode(regs) such that this will do the right thing. Going forward, we should try to move the core audit code over to syscall_get_return_value().
