+ * This function is fundamentally broken as currently
+ * implemented.
+ *
+ * The idea is that we want to trigger a call to the
+ * restart_block() syscall and that we want in_ia32_syscall(),
+ * in_x32_syscall(), etc. to match whatever they were in the
+ * syscall being restarted. We assume that the syscall
+ * instruction at (regs->ip - 2) matches whatever syscall
+ * instruction we used to enter in the first place.
+ *
+ * The problem is that we can get here when ptrace pokes
+ * syscall-like values into regs even if we're not in a syscall
+ * at all.
+ *
+ * For now, we maintain historical behavior and guess based on
+ * stored state. We could do better by saving the actual
+ * syscall arch in restart_block or (with caveats on x32) by
+ * checking if regs->ip points to 'int $0x80'. The current
+ * behavior is incorrect if a tracer has a different bitness
+ * than the tracee.
