Subject[PATCH] x86_32,entry: Do syscall exit work on badsys (CVE-2014-4508)
Date
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

I realize that the syscall audit fast path and badsys code, on 32-bit
x86 no less, is possibly one of the least fun things in the kernel to
review, but this is still a real security bug and should get fixed :(

So I'm cc-ing a bunch of people and maybe someone will review it.
