riscv: entry: always initialize regs->a0 to -ENOSYS
Otherwise when the tracer changes syscall number to -1, the kernel fails to initialize a0 with -ENOSYS and subsequently fails to return the error code of the failed syscall to userspace. For example, it will break strace syscall tampering. Fixes: 52449c1 ("riscv: entry: set a0 = -ENOSYS only when syscall != -1") Reported-by: "Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@strace.io> Reviewed-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn@rivosinc.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Celeste Liu <CoelacanthusHex@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240627142338.5114-2-CoelacanthusHex@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
