From: Sven Schnelle svens@stackframe.org Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2021 20:41:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] parisc/entry: fix trace test in syscall exit path
commit 8779e05ba8aa ("parisc: Fix ptrace check on syscall return") fixed testing of TI_FLAGS. This uncovered a bug in the test mask. syscall_restore_rfi is only used when the kernel needs to exit to usespace with single or block stepping and the recovery counter enabled. The test however used _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE_MASK, which includes a lot of bits that shouldn't be tested here.
Fix this by using TIF_SINGLESTEP and TIF_BLOCKSTEP directly.
I encountered this bug by enabling syscall tracepoints. Both in qemu and on real hardware. As soon as i enabled the tracepoint (sys_exit_read, but i guess it doesn't really matter which one), i got random page faults in userspace almost immediately.
