The patch [1] fixes the bug in (not public available yet) aarc64/ilp32 port
in SYSCALL_ERROR_HANDLER() macro - wrong calculation of errno location. The
macro is called in error path of a syscall generated from syscall templates
with PSEUDO* machinery.

The bug has been discovered during the work on LTP tests, and it looks like
there's no a glibc test to check it. For sure, there's no specific test for 
syscall templates.

The following test sets the errno to invalid value (0xdead), and then calls
write() with intentionally wrong file descriptor to force kernel to return
EBADF which should be stored at errno location by SYSCALL_ERROR_HANDLER().

The test is failed before and passed after [1] for aarch64/ilp32 [2-3].

This is RFC because I'm not sure this is right way to check the macro
as it implicitly assumes that the write() is implemented with templates,
which may be wrong for some platform, or will become wrong in future.

Though, if the test is OK, please apply it.

What you're testing here is errno.  You're verifying that a particular
syscall does set errno to a meaningful value when it fails.

The way to make this a better test, and ensure you're not just testing
one of several possible implementations of the
trap-to-kernel-then-set-errno sequence, is to apply the same test to
_as many syscalls as practical_.  I think it would be enough to get
all of the ones that can fail due to invalid arguments.  Testing for
_all_ the error cases is out of scope for glibc's testsuite -- that's
more of an LTP thing -- and there are quite a few that can only fail
due to resource exhaustion or inadequate permissions, both of which
require more machinery to set up than we have.

This should probably be two test programs: posix/test-errno.c would
test all the syscalls in POSIX, and
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/test-errno.c would test all the Linux-specific
ones.

I wrote this test to address this comment of Adhemerval:

So I only tried to test error path of syscall template. If you think
that the correct way to do it is to call each syscall that may fail
in each possible scenario - then I think glibc don't need the test
like that, and we'd run LTP to find bugs of that sort - like I did in
this case.

You asked how to make the test better.  I told you how I think you
could make the test better.

I realize I'm asking for some extra work, but it should not take more
than a half hour and it really will be a better test this way.

(I _do_ think glibc should have a test like this.  It does not require
elaborate setup, and the more bugs we can catch _during development_,
rather than months after the fact when someone thinks to run LTP, the
better.)

OK. Below is what I have. This is not the glibc test but standalone
application. If I do what you mean, I will finish the syscall list
(I take it from sysdeps/unix/syscalls.list), and send it as glibc test
for POSIX syscalls. IIUC we need similar test for linux syscalls in 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list

Surprisingly, some syscalls cause segfaults on aarch64/lp64, which is
presumably wrong.

I didn't analyze it yet, and didn't finish the test. Just asking if I
understand you right.

Yes, this is what I had in mind.  (POSIX syscalls is not exactly the
same thing as sysdeps/unix/syscalls.list but it's probably easier to
put the test in sysdeps/unix than worry about which syscalls are or
are not standardized.)

Right.

> presumably wrong.

I dug into this a bit.  The problem is that under any conditions where
a syscall is documented to return EFAULT, it is also allowed to
trigger a SIGSEGV.  (See
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html#tag_15_03
under [EFAULT].)  So we cannot do this test for syscalls whose only
invalid-arguments failure mode is EFAULT, and we need to avoid setting
up EFAULT conditions for any other syscalls.

I've revised what you had with that in mind.  I also fixed the problem
with mmap, made sure that we were only setting up _one_ failure
condition for each system call, made it always run all the tests
instead of stopping at the first failure, and reformatted according to
GNU style.  It should be pretty easy to go on from here for the rest
of syscalls.list.
