Right, I believe MIPS will have the same problem and a similar patch to Will Deacon's one will fix it properly. Would you like to submit one for MIPS too? Otherwise I can do it myself. > > I don't yet have a working MIPS environment to test this on, but it > feels like the same bug.

For MIPS, the syscall numbers is in the v0 register ($2). But the o32 ABI also has the syscall() system call. So in case of indirect system calls, the real system call is the first argument of syscall(), which is register a0 ($4).
