Hi all,
IBM CI has reported a kernel warning triggered in
__audit_syscall_entry() on a PowerPC 64 (ppc64le, POWER9 pSeries guest)
system while running the BPF kselftest suite (test_progs).
Environment:
Kernel version: 7.3.0-rc3-g238650ef6c7c (PREEMPT)
Architecture: ppc64le (POWER9 - IBM,8375-42A pSeries / phyp)
Workload: BPF selftests (tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs)
Problem Description:
During syscall entry processing (system_call_exception ->
syscall_enter_audit -> __audit_syscall_entry), the kernel hit
WARN_ON(context->context != AUDIT_CTX_UNUSED) at kernel/auditsc.c:1995,
indicating that the task's audit context was not reset to
AUDIT_CTX_UNUSED prior to entering the new syscall.
Trace:
