From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040301 Description of problem: The audit_get_results() function needs to check the return status of the syscall, if an error is indicated then the return code needs to be negative. On error the current return code is positive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Examine the return code of a failed syscall on an ia64 platform 2.The syscall will have failed, but the return code is positive 3. Additional info:
Peter, is this really a kernel bug? There is no kernel function named audit_get_results(), so I was wondering if you meant for the component to be assigned to "laus". I'll let you handle this one.
My bad - singular, audit_get_result() used in the drivers/audit syscall routines.
A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U4 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-20.6.EL).
