I think you're right. So we have to introduce callsite to rseq_syscall()
in syscall path, something like:

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:

	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.

Good point.

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

I'd like to help, but I don't have a handy ppc environment for test...
So I made the below patch which has only been build-tested, hope it
could be somewhat helpful.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Add syscall detection for restartable sequences

Syscalls are not allowed inside restartable sequences, so add a call to
rseq_syscall() at the very beginning of system call exiting path for
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y kernel. This could help us to detect whether there
is a syscall issued inside restartable sequences.
