Re: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc: fix inconsistencies in syscall error return handling

quoted hunk ↗ jump to hunk
Since the introduction of SECCOMP_RET_TRACE support, the kernel supports
simultaneously both the generic kernel -ERRORCODE return value ABI and
the powerpc sc syscall return ABI for PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP tracers.
This change is an attempt to address the code inconsistencies in syscall
error return handling that were introduced as a side effect of the dual
ABI support.

Why !trap_is_scv(regs) ? Shouldn't this also work with scv allthough it 
should be a noop ?

Can't we use syscall_set_return_value() to do that ?
