I think you're right. So we have to introduce callsite to rseq_syscall()
in syscall path, something like:
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
index 51695608c68b..a25734a96640 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
+++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
@@ -222,6 +222,9 @@ system_call_exit:
	mtmsrd	r11,1
#endif /* CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E */

+	addi    r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
+	bl	rseq_syscall
+
	ld	r9,TI_FLAGS(r12)
	li	r11,-MAX_ERRNO
	andi.
		r0,r9,(_TIF_SYSCALL_DOTRACE|_TIF_SINGLESTEP|_TIF_USER_WORK_MASK|_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK)
By the way, I think this is not the right spot to call rseq_syscall, because
interrupts are disabled. I think we should move this hunk right after system_call_exit.

Would you like to implement and test an updated patch adding those calls for ppc 32 and 64 ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
