This makes ptrace/get_syscall_info selftest pass on mips o32 and
mips64 o32 by fixing the following two test assertions:
1. get_syscall_info test assertion on mips o32:
# get_syscall_info.c:218:get_syscall_info:Expected exp_args[5] (3134521044) == info.entry.args[4] (4911432)
# get_syscall_info.c:219:get_syscall_info:wait #1: entry stop mismatch
2. get_syscall_info test assertion on mips64 o32:
# get_syscall_info.c:209:get_syscall_info:Expected exp_args[2] (3134324433) == info.entry.args[1] (18446744072548908753)
# get_syscall_info.c:210:get_syscall_info:wait #1: entry stop mismatch
The first assertion happens due to mips_get_syscall_arg() trying to access
another task's context but failing to do it properly because get_user() it
calls just peeks at the current task's context. It usually does not crash
because the default user stack always gets assigned the same VMA, but it
is pure luck which mips_get_syscall_arg() wouldn't have if e.g. the stack
was switched (via setcontext(3) or however) or a non-default process's
thread peeked at, and in any case irrelevant data is obtained just as
observed with the test case.
mips_get_syscall_arg() ought to be using access_remote_vm() instead to
retrieve the other task's stack contents, but given that the data has been
already obtained and saved in `struct pt_regs' it would be an overkill.
The first assertion is fixed for mips o32 by using struct pt_regs.args
instead of get_user() to obtain syscall arguments. This approach works
due to this piece in arch/mips/kernel/scall32-o32.S:
/*
* Ok, copy the args from the luser stack to the kernel stack.
*/

arch/mips/kernel/scall64-o32.S has analogous code for mips64 o32 that
allows fixing the issue by obtaining syscall arguments from struct
pt_regs.regs[4..11] instead of the erroneous use of get_user().
The second assertion is fixed by truncating 64-bit values to 32-bit
syscall arguments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
