[ Upstream commit d19d638b1e6cf746263ef60b7d0dee0204d8216a ]
Modern (fortified) memcpy() prefers to avoid writing (or reading) beyond the end of the addressed destination (or source) struct member:
In function ‘fortify_memcpy_chk’, inlined from ‘syscall_get_arguments’ at ./arch/x86/include/asm/syscall.h:85:2, inlined from ‘populate_seccomp_data’ at kernel/seccomp.c:258:2, inlined from ‘__seccomp_filter’ at kernel/seccomp.c:1231:3: ./include/linux/fortify-string.h:580:25: error: call to ‘__read_overflow2_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning] 580 | __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As already done for x86_64 and compat mode, do not use memcpy() to extract syscall arguments from struct pt_regs but rather just perform direct assignments. Binary output differences are negligible, and actually ends up using less stack space:
- sub $0x84,%esp + sub $0x6c,%esp
and less text size:
