Sorry, I've been meaning to chase this up for a bit.

There are a few problems here, but I think we can solve them all (patch
below).

Generally, syscall_get_return_value() should be used to get syscall
return values, and this *should* always sign-extend compat values to 64
bits (but arm64's implementation currently doesn't).

Audit currently uses regs_return_value() rather than
syscall_get_return_value(). That's mostly for historical reasons, but
some architectures don't implement syscall_get_return_value() at the
moment, so we'll have to bodge regs_return_value() on arm64 for now. On
32-bit arm regs_return_value() returns a long, and so is sign-extended.

On 32-bit arm, since syscall_get_return_value() returns a long, it'll
get sign-extended (whether returning an errno or a pointer in the high
2GiB), and we should do the same for compat. We can shuffle
syscall_get_return_value() and syscall_get_error() to handle that.

There are a few places we directly assign to the regs where we need to
truncate the assignment. We can use syscall_set_return_value() to do
that for us.

I think for now, the below should be sufficient for arm64, and we can
chase that up with some cleanup to the core audit code to use
syscall_get_return_value().

Thanks,
Mark.
