In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that `ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` does not return error sign properly. The bug is in mismatch between get/set errors: static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->r10 == -1 ? regs->r8:0; } static inline long syscall_get_return_value(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->r8; } static inline void syscall_set_return_value(struct task_struct *task, struct pt_regs *regs, int error, long val) { if (error) { /* error < 0, but ia64 uses > 0 return value */ regs->r8 = -error; regs->r10 = -1; } else { regs->r8 = val; regs->r10 = 0; } } Tested on v5.10 on rx3600 machine (ia64 9040 CPU).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
