Some archs (like powerpc) only support changing the return code during
syscall exit when ptrace is used. Test entry vs exit phases for which
portions of the syscall number and return values need to be set at which
different phases. For non-powerpc, all changes are made during ptrace
syscall entry, as before. For powerpc, the syscall number is changed at
ptrace syscall entry and the syscall return value is changed on ptrace
syscall exit.

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.
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.
