arm64: fix compat syscall return truncation
Due to inconsistencies in the way we manipulate compat GPRs, we have a
few issues today:
* For audit and tracing, where error codes are handled as a (native)
long, negative error codes are expected to be sign-extended to the
native 64-bits, or they may fail to be matched correctly. Thus a
syscall which fails with an error may erroneously be identified as
failing.
* For ptrace, *all* compat return values should be sign-extended for
consistency with 32-bit arm, but we currently only do this for
negative return codes.
* As we may transiently set the upper 32 bits of some compat GPRs while
in the kernel, these can be sampled by perf, which is somewhat
confusing. This means that where a syscall returns a pointer above 2G,
this will be sign-extended, but will not be mistaken for an error as
error codes are constrained to the inclusive range [-4096, -1] where
no user pointer can exist.
To fix all of these, we must consistently use helpers to get/set the
compat GPRs, ensuring that we never write the upper 32 bits of the
return code, and always sign-extend when reading the return code. This
patch does so, with the following changes:
* We re-organise syscall_get_return_value() to always sign-extend for
compat tasks, and reimplement syscall_get_error() atop. We update
syscall_trace_exit() to use syscall_get_return_value().
* We consistently use syscall_set_return_value() to set the return
value, ensureing the upper 32 bits are never set unexpectedly.
* As the core audit code currently uses regs_return_value() rather than
syscall_get_return_value(), we special-case this for
compat_user_mode(regs) such that this will do the right thing. Going
forward, we should try to move the core audit code over to
syscall_get_return_value().
