From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2014 23:36:50 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86_64/vsyscall: Restore orig_ax after vsyscall seccomp X-Git-Tag: v3.19-rc1~145^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.kernelconcepts.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26893107aa717cd11010f0c278d02535defa1ac9;p=karo-tx-linux.git x86_64/vsyscall: Restore orig_ax after vsyscall seccomp The vsyscall emulation code sets orig_ax for seccomp's benefit, but it forgot to set it back. I'm not sure that this is observable at all, but it could cause confusion to various /proc or ptrace users, and it's possible that it could cause minor artifacts if a signal were to be delivered on return from vsyscall emulation.
