[PATCH v5] powerpc/ptrace: replace ptrace_report_syscall() with a tracehook call

From: Dmitry V. Levin
Date: Fri Dec 07 2018 - 10:56:11 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.

The patch does not look very nice, but at least it is correct
and opens the way for PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO API.
