Subject: [patch 13/18] entry: Make trace_syscall_enter() return type bool
Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2026 21:06:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707190254.338083894@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260707181957.433213175@kernel.org

In preparation of converting the return value of
syscall_enter_from_user_mode[_work]() bool, rework trace_syscall_enter() to

 - update the syscall number via a pointer argument

 - Return True if the syscall number is != -1, False otherwise

That aligns with ptrace_report_syscall_permit_enter() and
seccomp_permit_syscall().

The only difference is that this also returns False, when the syscall
number was already -1 to begin with, but there is not much which can be
done about that. As the architecture has to preset the return value to
-ENOSYS anyway, that results in the correct return value for such an
invalid syscall.
