If tracer specifies -1 as a syscall number, this traced system call should be skipped with a value in x0 used as a return value. This patch enables this semantics, but there is a restriction here:
when syscall(-1) is issued by user, tracer cannot skip this system call and modify a return value at syscall entry.
In order to ease this flavor, we need to treat whatever value in x0 as a return value, but this might result in a bogus value being returned, especially when tracer doesn't do anything at this syscall. So we always return ENOSYS instead, while we have another chance to change a return value at syscall exit.
Please also note: * syscall entry tracing and syscall exit tracing (ftrace tracepoint and audit) are always executed, if enabled, even when skipping a system call (that is, -1). In this way, we can avoid a potential bug where audit_syscall_entry() might be called without audit_syscall_exit() at the previous system call being called, that would cause OOPs in audit_syscall_entry().
* syscallno may also be set to -1 if a fatal signal (SIGKILL) is detected in tracehook_report_syscall_entry(), but since a value set to x0 (ENOSYS) is not used in this case, we may neglect the case.
