Will and > Richard were in the opinion to consolidate SYSEMU handling Well, personally I see no point... Again, after the trivial simplification x86 does if (work & (_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU | _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE)) { ret = tracehook_report_syscall_entry(regs); if (ret || (work & _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU)) return -1L; } this looks simple enough for copy-and-paste. > If there's a better way to achieve the same I can only say that if we add a common helper, I think it should absorb tracehook_report_syscall_entry() and handle both TIF's just like the code above does. Not sure this makes any sense. Oleg.
