nobody picked up this issue, is this resolved?
ie. if userspace calls syscall(SYS_foo,...) directly with 32bit
longs does it always work out correctly on the kernel side?
the sign extension is a problem for signed long arguments,
i only found these in the kernel:
fs/buffer.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE2(bdflush, int, func, long, data)
fs/open.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE2(truncate, const char __user *, path, long, length)
fs/aio.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE3(io_submit, aio_context_t, ctx_id, long, nr,
fs/aio.c- struct iocb __user * __user *, iocbpp)
fs/aio.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE5(io_getevents, aio_context_t, ctx_id,
fs/aio.c- long, min_nr,
fs/aio.c- long, nr,
kernel/ptrace.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE4(ptrace, long, request, long, pid, unsigned long, addr,
kernel/ptrace.c- unsigned long, data)
ipc/syscall.c:SYSCALL_DEFINE6(ipc, unsigned int, call, int, first, unsigned long, second,
ipc/syscall.c- unsigned long, third, void __user *, ptr, long, fifth)
