Yep, this is what I meant. And this looks confusing to me. Lets suppose that
the tracee was stopped because of JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP. Why should the behaviour
of update_syscall_orig_x0_after_ptrace() depend on whether that tracee is
PT_SEIZED or not?

IOW. To me your V2 looks more understandable to me, I don't understand the
Catalin's concerns.

But then again, I can't really argue, I know nothing about arch/arm64. And I
do remember that I tried to confuse you when I reviewed your V2 ;) Thanks again
for correcting me.
