[PATCH] arm: ptrace: fix syscall modification under PTRACE_O_TRACESECCOMP

[Kees Cook]

An x86 tracer wanting to change the syscall uses PTRACE_SETREGS
(stored to regs->orig_ax), and an ARM tracer uses PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL
(stored to current_thread_info()->syscall). When this happens, the
syscall can change across the call to secure_computing(), since it may
block on tracer notification, and the tracer can then make changes
to the process, before we return from secure_computing(). This
means the code must respect the changed syscall after the
secure_computing() call in syscall_trace_enter(). The same is true
for tracehook_report_syscall_entry() which may also block and change
the syscall.

The x86 code handles this (it expects orig_ax to always be the
desired syscall). In the ARM case, this means we should not be touching
current_thread_info()->syscall after its initial assignment. All failures
should result in a -1 syscall, though.

Based on patch by Ricky Zhou.
