Thanks for pointing this out, you are absolutely right. Perhaps this is
a fix for the issue - on 64 bit:

ld r10,TI_FLAGS(r11)
andi. r11,r10,_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A
bne syscall_dotrace
-.Lsyscall_dotrace_cont:
cmpldi 0,r0,NR_syscalls
bge- syscall_enosys

system_call:
...

syscall_enosys:
li r3,-ENOSYS
b .Lsyscall_exit
...

syscall_dotrace:
...
addi r9,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
CURRENT_THREAD_INFO(r10, r1)
ld r10,TI_FLAGS(r10)
- b .Lsyscall_dotrace_cont
+ cmpldi 0,r0,NR_syscalls
+ bge syscall_exit
+ b system_call

So basically I leave the code for syscall_enosys unchanged, but I keep
using it only when not doing syscall tracing. When doing syscall
tracing, I'm assuming do_syscall_trace_enter will take care of setting
the errno, and should it return an invalid syscall number, go directly
to syscall_exit.

Same thing for 32-bit:

_GLOBAL(DoSyscall)
lwz r11,TI_FLAGS(r10)
andi. r11,r11,_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A
bne- syscall_dotrace
-syscall_dotrace_cont:
cmplwi 0,r0,NR_syscalls
lis r10,sys_call_table@h
ori r10,r10,sys_call_table@l
slwi r0,r0,2
bge 66f
+syscall_dotrace_cont:
lwzx r10,r10,r0 /* Fetch system call handler [ptr] */
mtlr r10
addi r9,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
...

66: li r3,-ENOSYS
b ret_from_syscall
...

syscall_dotrace:
lwz r7,GPR7(r1)
lwz r8,GPR8(r1)
REST_NVGPRS(r1)
+ cmplwi 0,r0,NR_syscalls
+ lis r10,sys_call_table@h
+ ori r10,r10,sys_call_table@l
+ slwi r0,r0,2
+ bge- ret_from_syscall
b syscall_dotrace_cont

However I must admit that I don't like duplicating those 4 lines of code
associated with verifying the syscall number. I can't think of any
better way to do this. I also thought about leaving this check in one
place, and then branch differently according to _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A. Do
you think that would be a better approach?

Thank you,
Bogdan P.
