x86_32, entry: Do syscall exit work on badsys (CVE-2014-4508)
commit 554086d85e71f30abe46fc014fea31929a7c6a8a upstream. The bad syscall nr paths are their own incomprehensible route through the entry control flow. Rearrange them to work just like syscalls that return -ENOSYS. This fixes an OOPS in the audit code when fast-path auditing is enabled and sysenter gets a bad syscall nr (CVE-2014-4508). This has probably been broken since Linux 2.6.27: af0575bba0 i386 syscall audit fast-path Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Reported-by: Toralf Förster <toralf.foerster@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/e09c499eade6fc321266dd6b54da7beb28d6991c.1403558229.git.luto@amacapital.net Signed-off-by: H.
