Subject: [RFC PATCH] rseq: Use pr_warn_once() when deprecated/unknown ABI flags are encountered

These commits use WARN_ON_ONCE() and kill the offending processes when
deprecated and unknown flags are encountered:

commit c17a6ff93213 ("rseq: Kill process when unknown flags are encountered in ABI structures")
commit 0190e4198e47 ("rseq: Deprecate RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags")

The WARN_ON_ONCE() triggered by userspace input prevents use of
Syzkaller to fuzz the rseq system call.

Replace this WARN_ON_ONCE() by pr_warn_once() messages which contain
actually useful information.

Thanks for this!

I've set off a Syzkaller run with this applied, and I'll be able to tell you in
a day or two whether that's made it possible to spot anything more interesting.

Regardless, I think this is a good change, so FWIW:

Hi Peter,

Should I resubmit this or can you simply pick up the Acked-by from Paul
McKenney and Mark Rutland and route this through the tip tree ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
