From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fd0c153daad135d0ec1a53c5dbe6936a724d6ae1 upstream. If we use the ancient SysV syscall ABI, we'd better have tell the kernel how to claim that a negative return value is a success. Use ->orig_r2 for that - it's inaccessible via ptrace, so it's a fair game for changes and it's normally[*] non-negative on return from syscall. Set to -1; syscall is not going to be restart-worthy by definition, so we won't interfere with that use either. [*] the only exception is rt_sigreturn(), where we skip the entire messing with r1/r2 anyway.
