NAME

6       syscall_rollback - roll back registers after an aborted system call
7

SYNOPSIS

9       void syscall_rollback(struct task_struct * task,
10                             struct pt_regs * regs);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       task
14           task of interest, must be in system call exit tracing
15
16       regs
17
18           task_pt_regs of task
19

DESCRIPTION

21       It's only valid to call this when task is stopped for system call exit
22       tracing (due to TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT), after
23       tracehook_report_syscall_entry returned nonzero to prevent the system
24       call from taking place.
25
26       This rolls back the register state in regs so it's as if the system
27       call instruction was a no-op. The registers containing the system call
28       number and arguments are as they were before the system call
29       instruction. This may not be the same as what the register state looked
30       like at system call entry tracing.
