Good question.
First thing to mention is __sys_trace will trace 'restart_syscall',
not the real syscall we are going to restart.
E.g. in test application we do infinite poll and then send STOP and
CONT to this app:
test-243 [002] ...1 1792.067726: sys_enter: NR 168 (0, 0,
ffffffff, 0, 0, 0)
test-243 [002] ...1 1802.299073: sys_exit: NR 168 = -516
test-243 [004] ...1 1814.716264: sys_enter: NR 0 (0, 0,
ffffffff, 0, 0, 0)
test-243 [004] ...1 2183.687225: sys_exit: NR 0 = -516
the poll was restarted and trace shows that we are in restart_syscall.
Is that expected?
And the second thing is that my next patch did some tweaks in
'syscall_trace_enter', where we take scno not from param we passed,
but from thread_info->syscall we previously set.
So, regarding your question, if I set scno only once - I will break
previous behavior, and __sys_trace will trace the syscall we restarted.
And I think this is what we need, because according to the
'syscall_trace_enter' code we do 'secure_computing' and
'audit_syscall_entry', which definitely expect original syscall, not
the 'restart_syscall'.
