If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Will Deacon commit 6a68b6f574c8ad2c1d90f0db8fd95b8abe8a0a73 upstream. The ARM audit code incorrectly uses the saved application ip register value to infer syscall entry or exit. Additionally, the saved value will be clobbered if the current task is not being traced, which can lead to libc corruption if ip is live (apparently glibc uses it for the TLS pointer). This patch fixes the syscall tracing code so that the why parameter is used to infer the syscall direction and the saved ip is only updated if we know that we will be signalling a ptrace trap.
