nptl: Zero-extend arguments to SETXID syscalls [BZ #26248]
nptl has /* Opcodes and data types for communication with the signal handler to change user/group IDs. */ struct xid_command { int syscall_no; long int id[3]; volatile int cntr; volatile int error; }; /* This must be last, otherwise the current thread might not have permissions to send SIGSETXID syscall to the other threads. */ result = INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS (cmdp->syscall_no, 3, cmdp->id[0], cmdp->id[1], cmdp->id[2]); But the second argument of setgroups syscal is a pointer: int setgroups (size_t size, const gid_t *list); But on x32, pointers passed to syscall must have pointer type so that they will be zero-extended. The kernel XID arguments are unsigned and do not require sign extension. Change xid_command to struct xid_command { int syscall_no; unsigned long int id[3]; volatile int cntr; volatile int error; }; so that all arguments are zero-extended. A testcase is added for x32 and setgroups returned with EFAULT when running as root without the fix.
