-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: audit: fix treatment of saved ip register
during syscall tracing
Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 17:52:02 +0100
From: Will Deacon
To: patches@arm.linux.org.uk
CC: stable@vger.kernel.org
The ARM audit code incorrectly uses the saved application ip register
value to infer syscall entry or exit. Additionally, the saved value will
be clobbered if the current task is not being traced, which can lead to
libc corruption if ip is live (apparently glibc uses it for the TLS
pointer).
This patch fixes the syscall tracing code so that the why parameter is
used to infer the syscall direction and the saved ip is only updated if
we know that we will be signalling a ptrace trap.
