H A Dsyscalls.hdiff e237506238352f3bfa9cf3983cdab873e35651eb Wed Oct 12 05:53:34 CEST 2022 Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs

powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit
arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers
with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument
allocation.

The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at
an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there
were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This
requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the
argument register allocation.

With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs
GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem,
the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers.

Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with
compat.

Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this
and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report.
