So we actually detect this after the syscall takes effect, right? I
wonder whether this could be problematic, because "disallowing syscall"
in rseq areas may means the syscall won't take effect to some people, I
guess?

I think you're right. So we have to introduce callsite to rseq_syscall()
in syscall path, something like:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
index 51695608c68b..a25734a96640 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
+++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
@@ -222,6 +222,9 @@ system_call_exit:
 	mtmsrd	r11,1
 #endif /* CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E */
 
+	addi    r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
+	bl	rseq_syscall
+
 	ld	r9,TI_FLAGS(r12)
 	li	r11,-MAX_ERRNO
 	andi.	r0,r9,(_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE|_TIF_SINGLESTEP|_TIF_USER_WORK_MASK|_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK)

But I think it's important for us to first decide where (before or after
the syscall) we do the detection.
