From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Despite multiple attempts to get the syscall number assignment right
for the newly added uretprobe syscall, we ended up with a bit of a mess:

 - The number is defined as 467 based on the assumption that the
   xattrat family of syscalls would use 463 through 466, but those
   did not make it into 6.11.

 - The include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h file still lists the number
   463, but the new scripts/syscall.tbl that was supposed to have the
   same data lists 467 instead as the number for arc, arm64, csky,
   hexagon, loongarch, nios2, openrisc and riscv. None of these
   architectures actually provide a uretprobe syscall.

 - All the other architectures (powerpc, arm, mips, ...) don't list
   this syscall at all.

There are two ways to make it consistent again: either list it with
the same syscall number on all architectures, or only list it on x86
but not in scripts/syscall.tbl and asm-generic/unistd.h.

Based on the most recent discussion, it seems like we won't need it
anywhere else, so just remove the inconsistent assignment and instead
move the x86 number to the next available one in the architecture
specific range, which is 335.

Fixes: 5c28424e9a34 ("syscalls: Fix to add sys_uretprobe to syscall.tbl")
Fixes: 190fec72df4a ("uprobe: Wire up uretprobe system call")
Fixes: 63ded110979b ("uprobe: Change uretprobe syscall scope and number")

I think we should fix this as soon as possible. Please let me know if
you agree on this approach, or prefer one of the alternatives.

I've queued up this version in the asm-generic tree so I can send a
pull request in the next few days, but I'm fine with doing this a
differently if someone has a stronger opinion on what numbers to
assign for it on earch architecture.

OK... that was not expected.

Oops, thanks for finding.

OK, so even if it is not supported on those, we need to put it as a
placeholder.

OK, I think it is good. But you missed to fix a selftest code which
also needs to be updated.

Could you revert commit 3e301b431b91 ("selftests/bpf: Change uretprobe
 syscall number in uprobe_syscall test") too?

yes, it still needs the selftest change like below
otherwise if that new number works for you then lgtm

I folded the change that Jiri suggested now.
