Now that we have a new hook ptrace_syscall_enter that can be called from syscall entry code and it handles PTRACE_SYSEMU in generic code, we can do some cleanup using the same in syscall_trace_enter. Further the extra logic to find single stepping PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP in syscall_slow_exit_work seems unnecessary. Let's remove the same.
I wasn't cc'd on the whole series, so I can't easily review this. Do you have a test case to make sure that emulation still works? Are there adequate tests in tools/testing/selftests/x86? Do they still pass after this patch? --Andy
