      Fix waitid si_code regression · 6efcae46
      Roland McGrath authored
      In commit ee7c82da ("wait_task_stopped:
      simplify and fix races with SIGCONT/SIGKILL/untrace"), the magic (short)
      cast when storing si_code was lost in wait_task_stopped.  This leaks the
      in-kernel CLD_* values that do not match what userland expects.

      [CRYPTO] skcipher: Fix section mismatches · f13ba2f7
      Herbert Xu authored
      The previous patch to move chainiv and eseqiv into blkcipher created
      a section mismatch for the chainiv exit function which was also called
      from __init.  This patch removes the __exit marking on it.

      x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits · 84c6f604
      Roland McGrath authored
      This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
      32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
      64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.
      
      This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
      matter until that was fixed.
      
      The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
      sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
      that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
      32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
      facilities.
      
      This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
      matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
      that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
      the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
      of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.

      [ Changed to just do the sign-extension unconditionally on x86-64,
        since orig_ax is always just a small integer and doesn't need
        the full 64-bit range ]
