Thanks a ton for initial idea and quick reviews.
ERR_PTR() shouldn't be difficult.
"mov $-22,%rax" is a constant in the return value
register, so the data flow finds it as is. int_return_size() skips such
functions today. Just relaxing that part will solve it in decompiler,
but then the verifier need to get smarter in check_fmodret_retval().

Makes sense. Will drop them in the next version.
It's 537 of the 12633 tags.

Thanks for testing!
