syscall.h: introduce syscall_set_nr()

2025-05-12T00:48:15+00:00

Similar to syscall_set_arguments() that complements syscall_get_arguments(), introduce syscall_set_nr() that complements syscall_get_nr(). syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with syscall_set_arguments() on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

syscall.h: add syscall_set_arguments()

2025-05-12T00:48:15+00:00

This function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API. This partially reverts commit 7962c2eddbfe ("arch: remove unused function syscall_set_arguments()") by reusing some of old syscall_set_arguments() implementations.

ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall skipping for tracers

2023-08-16T20:58:49+00:00

Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno" and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(). Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(), leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls again.

ARM: 9108/1: oabi-compat: rework epoll_wait/epoll_pwait emulation

2021-08-20T10:39:26+00:00

The epoll_wait() system call wrapper is one of the remaining users of the set_fs() infrasturcture for Arm. Changing it to not require set_fs() is rather complex unfortunately. The approach I'm taking here is to allow architectures to override the code that copies the output to user space, and let the oabi-compat implementation check whether it is getting called from an EABI or OABI system call based on the thread_info->syscall value. The in_oabi_syscall() check here mirrors the in_compat_syscall() and in_x32_syscall() helpers for 32-bit compat implementations on other architectures. Overall, the amount of code goes down, at least with the newly added sys_oabi_epoll_pwait() helper getting removed again. The downside is added complexity in the source code for the native implementation. There should be no difference in runtime performance except for Arm kernels with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT enabled that now have to go through an external function call to check which of the two variants to use.

ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store thread_info->abi_syscall

2021-08-20T10:39:26+00:00

The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular ptrace, seccomp and /proc//syscall. The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are not currently getting traced. Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work, as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into. Since the thread_info->syscall field is not just the number any more, it is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI, the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE) for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later. All other users of thread_info->syscall go through the syscall_get_nr() helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits. Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23+00:00

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with syscall_get_arguments().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43+00:00

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

syscall_get_arch: add "struct task_struct *" argument

2019-03-21T01:12:36+00:00

This argument is required to extend the generic ptrace API with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request: syscall_get_arch() is going to be called from ptrace_request() along with syscall_get_nr(), syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_error(), and syscall_get_return_value() functions with a tracee as their argument. The primary intent is that the triple (audit_arch, syscall_nr, arg1..arg6) should describe what system call is being called and what its arguments are.
