Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 11/16] x86/entry: Use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt()
Date
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit da20ab35180780e4a6eadc804544f1fa967f3567 ]

We do not have tracepoints for sys_modify_ldt() because we define
it directly instead of using the normal SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros.

However, there is a reason sys_modify_ldt() does not use the macros:
it has an 'int' return type instead of 'unsigned long'. This is
a bug, but it's a bug cemented in the ABI.

What does this mean? If we return -EINVAL from a function that
returns 'int', we have 0x00000000ffffffea in %rax. But, if we
return -EINVAL from a function returning 'unsigned long', we end
up with 0xffffffffffffffea in %rax, which is wrong.

To work around this and maintain the 'int' behavior while using
the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros, so we add a cast to 'unsigned int'
in both implementations of sys_modify_ldt().
