syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for 64-bit syscalls
Let's make use of ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER=y on pure 64-bit x86-64 systems: Each syscall defines a stub which takes struct pt_regs as its only argument. It decodes just those parameters it needs, e.g: asmlinkage long sys_xyzzy(const struct pt_regs *regs) { return SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx); } This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down the call chain. For example, for sys_recv() which is a 4-parameter syscall, the assembly now is (in slightly reordered fashion): <sys_recv>: callq <__fentry__> /* decode regs->di, ->si, ->dx and ->r10 */ mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx [ SyS_recv() is automatically inlined by the compiler, as it is not [yet] used anywhere else ] /* clear %r9 and %r8, the 5th and 6th args */ xor %r9d,%r9d xor %r8d,%r8d /* do the actual work */ callq __sys_recvfrom /* cleanup and return */ cltq retq The only valid place in an x86-64 kernel which rightfully calls a syscall function on its own -- vsyscall -- needs to be modified to pass struct pt_regs onwards as well. To keep the syscall table generation working independent of SYSCALL_PTREGS being enabled, the stubs are named the same as the "original" syscall stubs, i.e. sys_*(). This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept | From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> | Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER, to limit it to 64-bit-only for the time being, and to update the vsyscall to the new calling convention.

+ * These wrappers and functions are inlined, meaning that the assembly looks

+ *
+ * <sys_recv>: <-- syscall with 4 parameters
+ * callq <__fentry__>
+ *
+ * mov 0x70(%rdi),%rdi <-- decode regs->di
+ * mov 0x68(%rdi),%rsi <-- decode regs->si
+ * mov 0x60(%rdi),%rdx <-- decode regs->dx
+ * mov 0x38(%rdi),%rcx <-- decode regs->r10
+ *
+ * xor %r9d,%r9d <-- clear %r9
+ * xor %r8d,%r8d <-- clear %r8
+ *
+ * callq __sys_recvfrom <-- do the actual work in __sys_recvfrom()
+ * which takes 6 arguments
+ *
+ * cltq <-- extend return value to 64-bit
+ * retq <-- return
+ *
+ * This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
+ * the call chain.
+ *
+ * As the generic SYSCALL_DEFINE0() macro does not decode any parameters for
+ * obvious reasons, and passing struct pt_regs *regs to it in %rdi does not
+ * hurt, there is no need to override it.
