syscall.h: introduce syscall_set_nr()

2025-05-12T00:48:15Z

Similar to syscall_set_arguments() that complements syscall_get_arguments(), introduce syscall_set_nr() that complements syscall_get_nr(). syscall_set_nr() is going to be needed along with syscall_set_arguments() on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API.

syscall.h: add syscall_set_arguments()

2025-05-12T00:48:15Z

This function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API. This partially reverts commit 7962c2eddbfe ("arch: remove unused function syscall_set_arguments()") by reusing some of old syscall_set_arguments() implementations.

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:27:23Z

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with syscall_get_arguments().

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43Z

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

um: Add full asm/syscall.h support

2016-01-10T20:49:49Z

Add subarchitecture-independent implementation of asm-generic/syscall.h allowing access to user system call parameters and results: * syscall_get_nr() * syscall_rollback() * syscall_get_error() * syscall_get_return_value() * syscall_set_return_value() * syscall_get_arguments() * syscall_set_arguments() * syscall_get_arch() provided by arch/x86/um/asm/syscall.h This provides the necessary syscall helpers needed by HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER plus syscall_get_error().
