Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 6/7] x86/regs: syscall_get_nr() returns -1 for a non-system call
Date:   Mon, 10 May 2021 11:53:15 -0700

syscall_get_nr() is defined to return -1 for a non-system call or a
ptrace/seccomp restart; not just any arbitrary number. See comment in
<asm-generic/syscall.h> for the official definition of this function.
