x86: ptrace vs -ENOSYS
When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made because the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always reset %rax to -ENOSYS again. This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing. That way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode (or in syscall exit tracing). This is consistent with what the 32-bit kernel does. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
