I abandoned that regression testing exercise when unpatched mainline
kernels began failing on that machine. I'm in the process of setting up a
different 68040 machine.


Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Splitting my first patch as suggested by Al in order to defer handling of the syscall_trace_enter() return code would achieve what Geert suggested (eliminate m68k syscall_trace() altogether) without risk of regression. This would need to replace Eric's patch 8.

Do you want me to send such a version based on my old patch series, or would you rather prepare that yourself, Eric?

Cheers,

Michael
