On Linux/MIPS (O32 ABI) for system call we have two result registers - v0 and 
a3.
v0 contains actual syscall result on success or error number on fail, a3 set to 
0/1
for indicating syscall success/fail. (if a3 == 1, v0 contains errno).
Now as we can see from definition of handle_sys 
(arch/mips/kernel/scall32-o32.S),
handler treats returned by syscall function (let's call "original") values in
range [-EMAXERRNO; 0[ as -errno, a3 is set to 1 and final returned (to 
userspace)
value is (-original).

INLINE_SYSCALL_NOERR_NCS defined in mips/bits/syscalls.h will handle
this behaviour.
