[PATCH v3] powerpc/ptrace: replace ptrace_report_syscall() with a tracehook call

From: Dmitry V. Levin
Date: Mon Nov 19 2018 - 16:01:44 EST


From: Elvira Khabirova <lineprinter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Arch code should use tracehook_*() helpers as documented
in include/linux/tracehook.h,
ptrace_report_syscall() is not expected to be used outside that file.
