[PATCH v3 1/3] powerpc: Don't force ENOSYS as error on syscall fail

From: Bogdan Purcareata
Date: Fri Feb 13 2015 - 03:22:55 EST


In certain scenarios - e.g. seccomp filtering with ERRNO as default action -
the system call fails for other reasons than the syscall not being available.
The seccomp filter can be configured to store a user-defined error code on
return from a blacklisted syscall. Don't always set ENOSYS on
do_syscall_trace_enter failure.

Delegate setting ENOSYS in case of failure, where appropriate, to
do_syscall_trace_enter.

v3:
- keep setting ENOSYS in the syscall entry assembly for scenarios without
syscall tracing

v2:
- move setting ENOSYS as errno from the syscall entry assembly to
do_syscall_trace_enter, only in the specific case
