Could you check whether tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/get_syscall_info.c passes again with your fix, please? If yes, then PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO is fixed. By the way, kernel tracing and audit subsystems also use those functions from asm/syscall.h and asm/ptrace.h, so your ptrace fix is likely to fix these subsystems as well. -- ldv
