But the second argument of setgroups syscal is a pointer:
int setgroups (size_t size, const gid_t *list);
But on x32, pointers passed to syscall must have pointer type so that
they will be zero-extended. The kernel XID arguments are unsigned and
do not require sign extension. Change xid_command to
struct xid_command
{
int syscall_no;
unsigned long int id[3];
volatile int cntr;
volatile int error;
};
so that all arguments are zero-extended. A testcase is added for x32 and
setgroups returned with EFAULT when running as root without the fix.
