Subject: [patch 3/4] entry: Make return type of syscall_trace_enter() bool
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 23:25:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712141346.699072205@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260712134433.549076055@kernel.org
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>
This prepares for changing the return types of
syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() to bool, which in turn separates the
decision of invoking the syscall from the syscall number, which might have
been changed in the call by ptrace, seccomp, tracing.
