11 * All of these functions expect to be called with no locks,
12 * and only when the caller is sure that the task of interest
13 * cannot return to user mode while we are looking at it.

23 * syscall_get_nr - find what system call a task is executing
24 * @task: task of interest, must be blocked
25 * @regs: task_pt_regs() of @task
27 * If @task is executing a system call or is at system call
28 * tracing about to attempt one, returns the system call number.
29 * If @task is not executing a system call, i.e. it's blocked
30 * inside the kernel for a fault or signal, returns -1.
32 * Note this returns int even on 64-bit machines. Only 32 bits of
33 * system call number can be meaningful. If the actual arch value
34 * is 64 bits, this truncates to 32 bits so 0xffffffff means -1.
36 * It's only valid to call this when @task is known to be blocked.

42 * @task: task of interest, must be in system call exit tracing
43 * @regs: task_pt_regs() of @task
45 * It's only valid to call this when @task is stopped for system
46 * call exit tracing (due to %SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_TRACE or
47 * %SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_AUDIT), after ptrace_report_syscall_entry()
48 * returned nonzero to prevent the system call from taking place.
50 * This rolls back the register state in @regs so it's as if the
51 * system call instruction was a no-op. The registers containing
52 * the system call number and arguments are as they were before the
53 * system call instruction. This may not be the same as what the
54 * register state looked like at system call entry tracing.

90 * @val: user return value if @error is zero
92 * This changes the results of the system call that user mode will see.
93 * If @error is zero, the user sees a successful system call with a
