[PATCH] compat: fix compat_sys_openat and friends

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Most of the 64 bit architectures will zero extend the first argument to
compat_sys_{openat,newfstatat,futimesat} which will fail if the 32 bit
syscall was passed AT_FDCWD (which is a small negative number).  Declare
the first argument to be an unsigned int which will force the correct
sign extension when the internal functions are called in each case.

Also, do some small white space cleanups in fs/compat.c.

This has been built on powerpc (and does the neede sign extension)
but not tested as we have yet to wire up the syscalls there.

Also, we will need compat wrappers for the other *at syscalls for
the same reason (sign extension of the first argument).

Also, I am wondering if we should move the declarations of the compat
syscalls to linux/compat.h (where all previous compat syscalls are
declated).
