Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems:
Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only
argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g:
asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx);
}
This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.
For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly
now is (in slightly reordered fashion):
<sys_recv>:
callq <__fentry__>
/* decode regs->di, ->si, ->dx and ->r10 */
mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi
mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi
mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx
mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx
[ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler,
as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ]
/* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */
xor %r9d,%r9d
xor %r8d,%r8d
/* do the actual work */
callq __sys_recvfrom
/* cleanup and return */
cltq
retq
The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls
a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified
to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well.
To keep the syscall table generation working independent of
SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the
"original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*().
This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept
From: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being,
and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.
