10 * This file is a stub providing documentation for what functions
11 * asm-ARCH/syscall.h files need to define. Most arch definitions
12 * will be simple inlines.
14 * All of these functions expect to be called with no locks,
15 * and only when the caller is sure that the task of interest
16 * cannot return to user mode while we are looking at it.

26 * syscall_get_nr - find what system call a task is executing
27 * @task: task of interest, must be blocked
28 * @regs: task_pt_regs() of @task
30 * If @task is executing a system call or is at system call
31 * tracing about to attempt one, returns the system call number.
32 * If @task is not executing a system call, i.e. it's blocked
33 * inside the kernel for a fault or signal, returns -1.
35 * It's only valid to call this when @task is known to be blocked.

40 * syscall_rollback - roll back registers after an aborted system call
41 * @task: task of interest, must be in system call exit tracing
42 * @regs: task_pt_regs() of @task
44 * It's only valid to call this when @task is stopped for system
45 * call exit tracing (due to TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT),
46 * after tracehook_report_syscall_entry() returned nonzero to prevent
47 * the system call from taking place.
49 * This rolls back the register state in @regs so it's as if the
50 * system call instruction was a no-op. The registers containing
51 * the system call number and arguments are as they were before the
52 * system call instruction. This may not be the same as what the
53 * register state looked like at system call entry tracing.

58 * syscall_get_error - check result of traced system call
59 * @task: task of interest, must be blocked
60 * @regs: task_pt_regs() of @task
62 * Returns 0 if the system call succeeded, or -ERRORCODE if it failed.
64 * It's only valid to call this when @task is stopped for tracing on exit
65 * from a system call, due to %TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or %TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT.

87 * @val: user return value if @error is zero
89 * This changes the results of the system call that user mode will see.
90 * If @error is zero, the user sees a successful system call with a
91 * return value of @val. If @error is nonzero, it's a negated errno
92 * code; the user sees a failed system call with this errno code.
