[PATCH v2] selftests: sud_test: return correct emulated syscall value on RISC-V

From: Clément Léger
Date: Wed Dec 06 2023 - 08:45:04 EST


Currently, the sud_test expects the emulated syscall to return the
emulated syscall number. This assumption only works on architectures
were the syscall calling convention use the same register for syscall
number/syscall return value. This is not the case for RISC-V and thus
the return value must be also emulated using the provided ucontext.

Changes in V2:
- Changes comment to be more explicit
- Use A7 syscall arg rather than hardcoding MAGIC_SYSCALL_1
