Commit Message

Dmitry V. Levin Jan. 15, 2025, 11:37 p.m. UTC
MIPS n32 is one of two ILP32 architectures supported by the kernel
that have 64-bit syscall arguments (another one is x32).

When this test passed 32-bit arguments to syscall(), they were
sign-extended in libc, PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO reported these
sign-extended 64-bit values, and the test complained about the mismatch.

Fix this by passing arguments of the appropriate type to syscall(),
which is "unsigned long long" on MIPS n32, and __kernel_ulong_t on other
architectures.

As a side effect, this also extends the test on all 64-bit architectures
by choosing constants that don't fit into 32-bit integers.

v2: Fixed MIPS #ifdef.

Could somebody pick up this patch, please?

Nothing has changed since v2, so I have nothing new to add.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250115233747.GA28541@strace.io/

What's the reason for adding these typedefs? checkpatch should
have warned you about adding new typedefs.

Also this introduces kernel_ulong_t in user-space test code.
Something to avoid.

You could use ifdef here.

 FWIW I agree, and I fail to see a reason why this would be a problem in a 
standalone test program where the typedef does not propagate anywhere.  

 The only potential issue I can identify would be a namespace clash, so 
perhaps the new type could have a name prefix specific to the test, but it 
doesn't appear to me a widespread practice across our selftests and then
`kernel_' ought to be pretty safe against ISO C or POSIX, so perhaps let's 
leave the things alone?

It causes problems down the road for maintenance. I would rather not
see these types of kernel typedefs added to user-space.

Can't this be solved with ifdef?

Another similar test I authored (selftests/ptrace/set_syscall_info) has
been merged, so there are two similar tests in the tree now, but only
one of them is permitted to use this approach, creating inconsistency.

Taking all of the above into consideration, please approve this fix.
