Lilith >_> and Claudio Bozzato of Cisco Talos security team reported
that collect_syscall() improperly casts the syscall registers to 64-bit
values leaking the uninitialized last 24 bytes on 32-bit platforms, that
are visible in /proc/self/syscall.
The cause is that info->data.args are u64 while syscall_get_arguments()
uses longs, as hinted by the bogus pointer cast in the function.
Let's just proceed like the other call places, by retrieving the
registers into an array of longs before assigning them to the caller's
array. This was successfully tested on x86_64, i386 and ppc32.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
