parisc: Fix ptrace syscall number modification
Commit 910cd32e552e ("parisc: Fix and enable seccomp filter support") introduced a regression in ptrace-based syscall tampering: when tracer changes syscall number to -1, the kernel fails to initialize %r28 with -ENOSYS and subsequently fails to return the error code of the failed syscall to userspace. This erroneous behaviour could be observed with a simple strace syscall fault injection command which is expected to print something like this: $ strace -a0 -ewrite -einject=write:error=enospc echo hello write(1, "hello\n", 6) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "echo: ", 6) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "write error", 11) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) write(2, "\n", 1) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) (INJECTED) +++ exited with 1 +++ After commit 910cd32e552ea09caa89cdbe328e468979b030dd it loops printing something like this instead: write(1, "hello\n", 6../strace: Failed to tamper with process 12345: unexpectedly got no error (return value 0, error 0) ) = 0 (INJECTED) This bug was found by strace test suite.
