From: Per Hallsmark <redacted> Today arm64 have it's own variant when a userspace app is doing a non-implemented syscall in that it dumps on console process name, registers and such. This makes a different behaviour on arm64 than on all other archs.Are you hitting a real issue with this? Test apps doing random syscalls?The issue was found on a real case, running lttng that tries to make use of sys_brk before falling back to internal variant. On arm64 this generates an "ugly" dump on console which dont happen on arm, x86 etc.
Why would a sys_brk() end up on the do_ni_syscall() path? -- Catalin
