The upper 32 bits of the syscallno field in thread_struct are handled inconsistently, being sometimes zero extended and sometimes sign-extended. In fact, only the lower 32 bits seem to have any real significance for the behaviour of the code: it's been OK to handle the upper bits inconsistently because they don't matter. Currently, the only place I can find where those bits are significant is in calling trace_sys_enter(), which may be unintentional: for example, if a compat tracer attempts to cancel a syscall by passing -1 to (COMPAT_)PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL at the syscall-enter-stop, it will be traced as syscall 4294967295 rather than -1 as might be expected (and as occurs for a native tracer doing the same thing). Elsewhere, reads of syscallno cast it to an int or truncate it. There's also a conspicuous amount of code and casting to bodge around the fact that although semantically an int, syscallno is stored as a u64. Let's not pretend any more. In order to preserve the stp x instruction that stores the syscall number in entry.S, this patch special-cases the layout of struct pt_regs for big endian so that the newly 32-bit syscallno field maps onto the low bits of the stored value. This is not beautiful, but benchmarking of the getpid syscall on Juno suggests indicates a minor slowdown if the stp is split into an stp x and stp w.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
