This patch failed to build using pseries_le_defconfig. With the change
noted below in entry_64.S, the build succeeded and seccomp mode 2 worked
correctly.

Best,

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

Shouldn't this be .Lsyscall_exit?

Thanks for testing and spotting this! The kernel I tested with didn't have syscall_exit converted to a local label (commit 4c3b21686111e0ac6018469dacbc5549f9915cf8).

Will resend with this change.
