Oh, it's better to reorder to:

diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/traps.c
index f910dfccbf5d2..932814e34ac37 100644

 		if (syscall < NR_syscalls)
 			syscall_handler(regs, syscall);
-		else
+		else if (syscall != -1)
 			regs->a0 = -ENOSYS;
 
 		syscall_exit_to_user_mode(regs);


I will send v3 later.
