Subject: [PATCH v15 03/11] arm64/ptrace: Use syscall_get_nr() helper for syscall_trace_enter()
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 17:20:55 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511092103.1974980-4-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511092103.1974980-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
Use syscall_get_nr() to get syscall number for syscall_trace_enter().
This aligns arm64's internal tracing logic with the generic
entry framework.
[Changes]
1. Use syscall_get_nr() helper:
- Replace direct regs->syscallno access with
syscall_get_nr(current, regs).
- This helper is functionally equivalent to direct access on arm64.
2. Re-read syscall number after tracepoint:
- Re-fetch the syscall number after trace_sys_enter() as it may have
been modified by BPF or ftrace probes, matching generic entry behavior.
[Why this matters]
- Aligns arm64 with the generic entry interface.
- Makes future migration to generic entry framework.
- Properly handles syscall number modifications by tracers.
- Uses standard architecture-independent helpers.
No functional changes intended.
