-Subject: [PATCH] Circumvent bug in uClibc-ng syscall() on x86_64 systems
-
-On uClibc at least up to v1.0.32, syscall() for x86_64 is defined in
-libc/sysdeps/linux/x86_64/syscall.S as
-
-syscall:
-        movq %rdi, %rax         /* Syscall number -> rax.  */
-        movq %rsi, %rdi         /* shift arg1 - arg5.  */
-        movq %rdx, %rsi
-        movq %rcx, %rdx
-        movq %r8, %r10
-        movq %r9, %r8
-        movq 8(%rsp),%r9        /* arg6 is on the stack.  */
-        syscall                 /* Do the system call.  */
-        cmpq $-4095, %rax       /* Check %rax for error.  */
-        jae __syscall_error     /* Branch forward if it failed.  */
-        ret                     /* Return to caller.  */
-
-And __syscall_error is defined in
-libc/sysdeps/linux/x86_64/__syscall_error.c as
-
-int __syscall_error(void) attribute_hidden;
-int __syscall_error(void)
-{
-	register int err_no __asm__ ("%rcx");
-	__asm__ ("mov %rax, %rcx\n\t"
-	         "neg %rcx");
-	__set_errno(err_no);
-	return -1;
-}
-
-Notice that __syscall_error returns -1 as a 32-bit int in %rax, a 64-bit
-register i.e. 0x00000000ffffffff (decimal 4294967295). When this value
-is compared to -1 in _sys_chk_seccomp_flag_kernel() the result is false,
-leading the function to always return 0.
-
-Prevent the error by coercing the return value of syscall() to int in a
-temporary variable before comparing it to -1. We could use just an (int)
-cast but the variable makes the code more readable and the machine code
-generated by the compiler is the same in both cases.
-
-All other syscall() invocations were inspected and they either already
-coerce the result to int or do not compare it to -1.
-
-The same problem probably occurs on other 64-bit systems but so far only
-x86_64 was tested.
-
-A bug report is being submitted to uClibc.
