H A Dyama_lsm.cdiff 2e4930eb7c8fb20a39dfb5f8a8f80402710dcea8 Mon Aug 27 13:38:13 CDT 2012 Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Yama: handle 32-bit userspace prctl

When running a 64-bit kernel and receiving prctls from a 32-bit
userspace, the "-1" used as an unsigned long will end up being
misdetected. The kernel is looking for 0xffffffffffffffff instead of
0xffffffff. Since prctl lacks a distinct compat interface, Yama needs
to handle this translation itself. As such, support either value as
meaning PR_SET_PTRACER_ANY, to avoid breaking the ABI for 64-bit.
