Yes. There's a comment which (hopefully) explains the difference here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace/ptrace.c?commit=ab29a807a7ddaa7c84d2f4cb8d29e74e33759072#n239 Which says: static int do_seccomp(struct pt_regs *regs) { if (!test_thread_flag(TIF_SECCOMP)) return 0; /* * The ABI we present to seccomp tracers is that r3 contains * the syscall return value and orig_gpr3 contains the first * syscall parameter. This is different to the ptrace ABI where * both r3 and orig_gpr3 contain the first syscall parameter. */ regs->gpr[3] = -ENOSYS; cheers
