For slowpath syscalls, we initialize regs->ax to -ENOSYS and stick the syscall number into regs->orig_ax prior to any possible tracing and syscall execution. This is user-visible ABI used by ptrace syscall emulation and seccomp. For fastpath syscalls, there's no good reason not to do the same thing. It's even slightly simpler than what we're currently doing. It probably has no measureable performance impact. It should have no user-visible effect. The purpose of this patch is to prepare for two-phase syscall tracing, in which the first phase might modify the saved RAX without leaving the fast path. This change is just subtle enough that I'm keeping it separate.
