Subject[PATCH] parisc: fix bug in compat_arch_ptrace
Date
This commit in 2.6.28-rc:
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)

Backtrace:

[<0000000040104ef8>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

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, 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.
