Subject: [PATCH v3] riscv: entry: set a0 = -ENOSYS only when syscall != -1

When we test seccomp with 6.4 kernel, we found errno has wrong value.
If we deny NETLINK_AUDIT with EAFNOSUPPORT, after f0bddf50586d, we will
get ENOSYS instead. We got same result with commit 9c2598d43510 ("riscv: entry:
Save a0 prior syscall_enter_from_user_mode()").

After analysing code, we think that regs->a0 = -ENOSYS should only be executed
when syscall != -1 In __seccomp_filter, when seccomp rejected this syscall with
specified errno, they will set a0 to return number as syscall ABI, and then
return -1. This return number is finally pass as return number of
syscall_enter_from_user_mode, and then is compared with NR_syscalls after
converted to ulong (so it will be ULONG_MAX). The condition
syscall < NR_syscalls will always be false, so regs->a0 = -ENOSYS is always
executed. It covered a0 set by seccomp, so we always get ENOSYS when match
seccomp RET_ERRNO rule.

Maybe we should define an explicit macro for this ERRNO in
__seccomp_filter, and this style obeys the coding convention.

You can also use syscall != -1UL or even syscall != -1.

If you leave 'syscall' signed and write:
if (syscall >= 0 && syscall < NR_syscalls)
the compiler will use a single unsigned compare.
There is no need to 'optimise' it yourself.

The former is indeed better for the eyes! :-) The latter will get a
-Wsign-compare warning, no?

Well, that's true. And I just found out that by C standards, converting
ulong to long is implementation-defined behavior, unlike long to ulong
which is well-defined. So it is really better than (long)syscall != -1L.

If you're respinning, I suggest you use David's suggestion:
* Remove the comment I suggest you to add
* Use (signed) long
* Add syscall >= 0 &&
* else if (syscall != -1)

Which is the least amount of surprises IMO.
