Linux kernel source tree

This is a patch that adds support for PTRACE_SYSEMU ptrace request in PowerPC architecture. When ptrace(PTRACE_SYSEMU, ...) request is called, it will be handled by the arch independent function ptrace_resume(), which will tag the task with the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag. This flag needs to be handled from a platform dependent point of view, which is what this patch does. This patch adds this task's flag as part of the _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, which is the MACRO that is used to trace syscalls at entrance/exit. Since TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is now part of _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE, if the task has _TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE set, it will hit do_syscall_trace_enter() at syscall entrance and do_syscall_trace_leave() at syscall leave. do_syscall_trace_enter() needs to handle the TIF_SYSCALL_EMU flag properly, which will interrupt the syscall executing if TIF_SYSCALL_EMU is set. The output values should not be changed, i.e. the return value (r3) should contain the original syscall argument on exit. With this flag set, the syscall is not executed fundamentally, because do_syscall_trace_enter() is returning -1 which is bigger than NR_syscall, thus, skipping the syscall execution and exiting userspace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
