Commit910cd32e55("parisc: Fix and enable seccomp filter support") introduced a regression in ptrace-based syscall tampering: when tracer changes syscall number to -1, the kernel fails to initialize %r28 with -ENOSYS and subsequently fails to return the error code of the failed syscall to userspace. This erroneous behaviour could be observed with a simple strace syscall fault injection command which is expected to print something like this: $ strace -a0 -ewrite -einject=write:error=enospc echo hello write(1, "hello\n", 6) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "echo: ", 6) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "write error", 11) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "\n", 1) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) +++ exited with 1 +++ After commit910cd32e55it loops printing something like this instead: write(1, "hello\n", 6../strace: Failed to tamper with process 12345: unexpectedly got no error (return value 0, error 0) ) = 0 (INJECTED) This bug was found by strace test suite.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
