Nothing cares about the -1 "mark as interrupt" in the errorcode of exception entries. It's only used to fill the error code when a signal is delivered, but this is already inconsistent vs. 64 bit as there all exceptions which do not have an error code set it to 0. So if 32 bit applications would care about this, then they would have noticed more than a decade ago. Just use 0 for all excpetions which do not have an errorcode consistently. This does neither break /proc/$PID/syscall because this interface examines the error code / syscall number which is on the stack and that is set to -1 (no syscall) in common_exception unconditionally for all exceptions. The push in the entry stub is just there to fill the hardware error code slot on the stack for consistency of the stack layout. A transient observation of 0 is possible, but that's true for the other exceptions which use 0 already as well and that interface is an unreliable snapshot of dubious correctness anyway.

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.
