Thanks, the patch works as expected.
You may add:
Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

There is an "out" label a few lines below, which should be removed as well.
Otherwise you get this warning:
arch/parisc/kernel/ptrace.c: In function âdo_syscall_trace_enterâ:
arch/parisc/kernel/ptrace.c:357:1: warning: label âoutâ defined but not used [-Wunused-label]

I've fixed it up locally and added the patch to my for-next tree.
If it's ok for you, I'll push it through the parisc tree.
