Same question for PowerPC as for ARM:

Considering that rseq_syscall is implemented as follows:

+void rseq_syscall(struct pt_regs *regs)
+{
+       unsigned long ip = instruction_pointer(regs);
+       struct task_struct *t = current;
+       struct rseq_cs rseq_cs;
+
+       if (!t->rseq)
+               return;
+       if (!access_ok(VERIFY_READ, t->rseq, sizeof(*t->rseq)) ||
+           rseq_get_rseq_cs(t, &rseq_cs) || in_rseq_cs(ip, &rseq_cs))
+               force_sig(SIGSEGV, t);
+}

and that x86 calls it from syscall_return_slowpath() (which AFAIU is
now used in the fast-path since KPTI), I wonder where we should call
this on PowerPC ?  I was under the impression that PowerPC return to
userspace fast-path was not calling C code unless work flags were set,
but I might be wrong.

Thoughts ?

Thanks!

Mathieu
