LGTM, but I don't understand this arm-specific code.
And... Do we need to check target->last_siginfo at all?
ptrace_signal() -> ptrace_stop() path sets ->ptrace_message = 0.
In all other cases: if info != NULL, then .si_code == target->exit_code.
ptrace_event(event) users always use event != 0 and != 0x80.
So it seems that we can just do
if ((target->exit_code & ~0x80) == SIGTRAP &&
target->ptrace_message == PTRACE_EVENTMSG_SYSCALL_EXIT)
?
I'll recheck... If I am right, perhaps it makes sense to simplify
ptrace_get_syscall_info_op().
Anyway, up to you.
Oleg.
