[PATCH v6 18/27] powerpc: define syscall_get_error()

From: Dmitry V. Levin <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-13 17:23:19
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

syscall_get_error() is required to be implemented on this
architecture in addition to already implemented syscall_get_nr(),
syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_return_value(), and
syscall_get_arch() functions in order to extend the generic
ptrace API with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request.

Notes:
    v6: unchanged
    
    v5:
    This change has been tested with
    tools/testing/selftests/ptrace/get_syscall_info.c and strace,
    so it's correct from PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO point of view.
    
    This cast doubts on commit v4.3-rc1~86^2~81 that changed
    syscall_set_return_value() in a way that doesn't quite match
    syscall_get_error(), but syscall_set_return_value() is out
    of scope of this series, so I'll just let you know my concerns.
