+.BR PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH " (Since Linux 5.11, x86 only)"
+.IP
+Configure the Syscall User Dispatch mechanism for the calling thread, to
+selective intercept system calls and dispatch them back to userspace
+through
+.IR SIGSYS .
+.IP
+The current Syscall User Dispatch mode is selected via
+.IR "arg2",
+which can either be set to
+.B PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON
+to enable the feature, or to
+.B PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF
+to turn it off.
+.IP
+With
+.IR "arg2"
+set to
+.BR PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON ,
+.IR "arg3"
+and
+.I "arg4"
+respectively identify the
+.I offset
+and
+.I length
+of a memory region in the process map from where system calls are always
+allowed to be executed, regardless of the switch variable.
+.I "arg5"
+points to a char-sized variable that is a fast switch to enable/disable
+the mechanism without invoking the kernel.
+.I "arg5"
+can be set to either
+.BR PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON
+to enable the mechanism or to
+.BR PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF
+to temporarily disable it.  Any other value will fail the application
+with a
+.IR SIGSYS .
+.IP
+When a system call is intercepted, a
+.I SIGSYS
+is raised with
+.I si_code
+set to
+.B SYS_USER_DISPATCH.
+.IP
+When
+.I "arg2"
+is set to
+.BR PR_SYS_DISPATCH_OFF ,
+the remaining arguments must be set to
+.BR 0 .
+.IP
+The setting is not preserved across
+.BR fork (2),
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR execve (2) .
