The MIPS syscall_trace_enter() allows the system call number to be
altered or cancelled by a ptrace tracer, via the normal ptrace hook
(PTRACE_SYSCALL) and changing the system call number register on entry,
and similarly via seccomp (PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP when a seccomp filter
returns SECCOMP_RET_TRACE).
Be sure to update the syscall local variable if this happens, so that
seccomp will filter the correct system call number if the normal ptrace
hook changes it first, and so that if either the normal ptrace hook or
seccomp change it the correct system call number is passed to the trace
event.
This won't have any effect until the next commit, which fixes ptrace to
update thread_info::syscall.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
