Subject: [PATCH 4.4 22/23] arm64: Remove unimplemented syscall log message
Date: Tue,  8 Jun 2021 20:27:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608175927.252349365@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210608175926.524658689@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Michael Weiser <michael.weiser@gmx.de>

commit 1962682d2b2fbe6cfa995a85c53c069fadda473e upstream.

Stop printing a (ratelimited) kernel message for each instance of an
unimplemented syscall being called. Userland making an unimplemented
syscall is not necessarily misbehaviour and to be expected with a
current userland running on an older kernel. Also, the current message
looks scary to users but does not actually indicate a real problem nor
help them narrow down the cause. Just rely on sys_ni_syscall() to return
-ENOSYS.
