[PATCH v17 07/15] arm64: ptrace: Pass thread flags to trace enter/exit
From: Jinjie Ruan
Date: Tue Jul 21 2026 - 04:24:40 EST
Move the reading of thread flags from inside arm64_syscall_trace_enter()
and syscall_trace_exit() to their callers. This aligns the function
signatures with the generic entry framework, where the caller
is responsible for supplying the flags.
In el0_svc_common(), the flags are now passed directly to the tracing
functions, and re-read before the enter/exit path to reflect any updates.
No functional change intended; this is a preparatory step for
converting arm64 to the generic entry infrastructure.
