tracing/syscalls: Ignore numbers outside NR_syscalls' range
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 086ba77 upstream.

ARM has some private syscalls (for example, set_tls(2)) which lie
outside the range of NR_syscalls.  If any of these are called while
syscall tracing is being performed, out-of-bounds array access will
occur in the ftrace and perf sys_{enter,exit} handlers.

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* true && trace-cmd report
 ...
 true-653   [000]   384.675777: sys_enter:            NR 192 (0, 1000, 3, 4000022, ffffffff, 0)

Fix this by ignoring out-of-NR_syscalls-bounds syscall numbers.

Commit cd0980f "tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls"
added the check for less than zero, but it should have also checked
for greater than NR_syscalls.
