[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: fix inconsistencies in syscall error return handling

Dmitry V. Levin ldv at strace.io
Mon Jan 27 18:14:24 UTC 2025


Since the introduction of SECCOMP_RET_TRACE support, the kernel supports
simultaneously both the generic kernel -ERRORCODE return value ABI and
the powerpc sc syscall return ABI for PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP tracers.
This change is an attempt to address the code inconsistencies in syscall
error return handling that were introduced as a side effect of the dual
ABI support.
