If a restartable syscall is called using the indirect o32 syscall handler - eg: syscall(__NR_waitid, ...), then it is possible for the incorrect arguments to be passed to the syscall after it has been restarted. This is because the syscall handler tries to shift all the registers down one place in pt_regs so that when the syscall is restarted, the "real" syscall is called instead. Unfortunately it only shifts the arguments passed in registers, not the arguments on the user stack. This causes the 4th argument to be duplicated when the syscall is restarted. Fix by removing all the pt_regs shifting so that the indirect syscall handler is called again when the syscall is restarted. The comment "some syscalls like execve get their arguments from struct pt_regs" is long out of date so this should now be safe.
