I took a quick look at the current implementation of ptrace.
ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/SETREGSET), eventually gpr_get/set(), handles only 'struct user_pt_regs',
and we have no way to modify orig_x0 nor syscallno in 'struct pt_regs' directly.
So it seems to me that we can't change a system call by ptrace().
Do I misunderstand anything?
