[PATCH] csky: Fix a4/a5 restoration in syscall trace path
From: hlsong
Date: Thu May 21 2026 - 06:17:27 EST
From: hlsong89 <pgeorge8929@xxxxxxxxx>
The syscall trace path reloads syscall arguments from pt_regs before
calling the syscall handler. On C-SKY ABIv2, the 5th and 6th syscall
arguments are prepared as stack arguments before invoking syscallid.
The current code adjusts sp before loading LSAVE_A4 and LSAVE_A5. Since
those offsets are relative to the original pt_regs base, loading them
after changing sp fetches the wrong slots. As a result, traced syscalls
that use the 5th or 6th argument may receive corrupted arguments.
This is visible with mmap2(), which takes six arguments. A small
PTRACE_SYSCALL reproducer opens a file and maps one page with:
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0)
Before the fix, the traced child fails the mmap and exits with 12.
After the fix, the mapping succeeds and the child exits with 0.
Fix the trace path by using the correct pt_regs offsets after adjusting sp.
Tested on: ck860f, linux-4.19.15, C-SKY abiv2
