commit adf53771a3123df99ca26e38818760fbcf5c05d0 upstream.

When building with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and W=1, there is a warning
because of the memcpy() in syscall_get_arguments():

  In file included from include/linux/string.h:392,
                   from include/linux/bitmap.h:13,
                   from include/linux/cpumask.h:12,

                   from include/linux/sched.h:13,
                   from kernel/ptrace.c:13:
  In function 'fortify_memcpy_chk',
      inlined from 'syscall_get_arguments.isra' at arch/riscv/include/asm/syscall.h:66:2:
  include/linux/fortify-string.h:580:25: error: call to '__read_overflow2_field' declared with attribute warning: detected read beyond size of field (2nd parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
    580 |                         __read_overflow2_field(q_size_field, size);
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

The fortified memcpy() routine enforces that the source is not overread
and the destination is not overwritten if the size of either field and
the size of the copy are known at compile time. The memcpy() in
syscall_get_arguments() intentionally overreads from a1 to a5 in
'struct pt_regs' but this is bigger than the size of a1.

Normally, this could be solved by wrapping a1 through a5 with
struct_group() but there was already a struct_group() applied to these
members in commit bba547810c66 ("riscv: tracing: Fix
__write_overflow_field in ftrace_partial_regs()").

Just avoid memcpy() altogether and write the copying of args from regs
manually, which clears up the warning at the expense of three extra
lines of code.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got a reasonably broad set of audit patches for the v5.2 merge
  window, the highlights are below:

   - The biggest change, and the source of all the arch/* changes, is
     the patchset from Dmitry to help enable some of the work he is
     doing around PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.

     To be honest, including this in the audit tree is a bit of a
     stretch, but it does help move audit a little further along towards
     proper syscall auditing for all arches, and everyone else seemed to
     agree that audit was a "good" spot for this to land (or maybe they
     just didn't want to merge it? dunno.).

   - We can now audit time/NTP adjustments.

   - We continue the work to connect associated audit records into a
     single event"

<title>syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args</title>

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

RISC-V syscall arguments are located in orig_a0,a1..a5 fields
of struct pt_regs.

Due to an off-by-one bug and a bug in pointer arithmetic
syscall_get_arguments() was reading s3..s7 fields instead of a1..a5.
Likewise, syscall_set_arguments() was writing s3..s7 fields
instead of a1..a5.

This argument is required to extend the generic ptrace API with
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request: syscall_get_arch() is going
to be called from ptrace_request() along with syscall_get_nr(),
syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_error(), and
syscall_get_return_value() functions with a tracee as their argument.

The primary intent is that the triple (audit_arch, syscall_nr, arg1..arg6)
should describe what system call is being called and what its arguments
are.
