The patch titled
x86_64 ptrace vs -ENOSYS
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86_64-ptrace-vs-enosys.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: x86_64 ptrace vs -ENOSYS
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax value
from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made because
the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always reset %rax to
-ENOSYS again.
This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing. That
way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode (or in
syscall exit tracing). This is consistent with what the 32-bit kernel does.
