Hmm, I don't know what it would break since it is a new "code" argument. But the man page says: "On success, arch_prctl() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error."
So just change the man pages? "On success, arch_prctl() returns positive values; on error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error."
