Check whether PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO syscall skipping semantics implemented in the kernel matches userspace expectations. Signed-off-by: Renzo Davoli <redacted> [v8: also check an error return value, and that the syscall cannot be changed anymore once skipped while its return value still can; checkpatch fixes] Assisted-by: claude-opus-5-5 --- .../selftests/ptrace/set_syscall_info.c | 230 +++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 229 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
