Thanks for digging in to this!

Won't this always land in bad_syscall(-1, regs) during arm_syscall?
Should syscall_trace-enter just call bad_syscall directly instead, or
are you using arm_syscall since it's the common entry point for this
kind of logic on "non-standard" syscalls?

Either way, this look good! Thanks!
