From: Mukesh Kumar Chaurasiya (IBM) Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 19:48:09 +0000 (+0530) Subject: powerpc: Fix exit_flags field placement in pt_regs for ptrace X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=263e5159e00aa46bf26f3496ff7aae1fc9a6c826;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git powerpc: Fix exit_flags field placement in pt_regs for ptrace Commit d7a6797e0bc1 ("powerpc: add exit_flags field in pt_regs") added the exit_flags field to struct pt_regs to pass internal exit control flags (e.g. _TIF_RESTOREALL) from syscall_exit_prepare() to the low-level assembly exit path. However, the field was placed in a way that was visible to userspace tools such as strace via PTRACE_GETREGS, or caused a struct layout or size regression observable through ptrace. The field is purely kernel-internal and must not be exposed beyond the user_pt_regs boundary. Move exit_flags into struct thread_info where it is only accessible to the kernel, and keep it out of the ptrace-visible register window entirely.
