[PATCH v3 4/4] arm64: ptrace: add support for syscall emulation

From: Sudeep Holla
Date: Tue Apr 30 2019 - 13:05:52 EST


Add PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support on arm64.
We don't need any special handling for PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.

It's quite difficult to generalize handling PTRACE_SYSEMU cross
architectures and avoid calls to tracehook_report_syscall_entry twice.
Different architecture have different mechanism to indicate NO_SYSCALL
and trying to generalise adds more code for no gain.

Hi Will,

While I agree with your idea of consolidation of PTRACE_SYSEMU handling
to core, it's quite a lot of change to do that, though it may be simple
and confusing with indirection from arch code to core.

Regards,
Sudeep
