[PATCH 1/2] audit: Add syscall return code handling for compat task

From: He Zhe
Date: Wed Apr 14 2021 - 04:02:26 EST


When 32-bit userspace application is running on 64-bit kernel, the 32-bit
syscall return code would be changed from u32 to u64 in regs_return_value
and then changed to s64. Hence the negative return code recorded by audit
would end up being a big positive number like below.

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1611110715.887:582): arch=40000028 syscall=322
success=yes exit=4294967283

This patch forces the u32->s32->s64 for compat tasks.
