Subject: [PATCH] arm64: fix strnlen_user when count <= strlen
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:48:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140116234817.GP18705@redacted.bos.redhat.com> (raw)

I received a bug report about the ruby test-suite failing on AArch64 when
attempting to pass MAX_ARG_STRLEN sized args to execv[1]. It was
expecting an E2BIG returned, but instead was receiving ENOMEM, and
concatenating the argument strings in funky ways.

The problem appeared to be in __strnlen_user on arm64, as when
instrumenting fs/exec.c to compare the results of the asm-generic
strnlen_user, I noticed an off-by-one on the result:
long-param-test: optimized strnlen_user (131072) and naive (131073) disagree!

As a result, fix strnlen_user to match expected behaviour as documented
in lib/strnlen_user.c, and return count+1 when count would be exceeded.

I didn't feel comfortable prodding the assembler, so I just worked
around it in the wrapper.

I tested that this behaves the same as the lib/strnlen_user.c version
with some hacked together code here:

{master}kmcmarti ~/strnlen_user-test $ ./test
=== count = 0 ===
strnlen_user = 0
__strnlen_user = 0
fixed__strnlen_user = 0
=== count < strlen ===
strnlen_user = 7
__strnlen_user = 6
fixed__strnlen_user = 7
=== count = strlen ===
strnlen_user = 13
__strnlen_user = 12
fixed__strnlen_user = 13
=== count > strlen ===
strnlen_user = 13
__strnlen_user = 13
fixed__strnlen_user = 13
