Currently syscall_trace() is called only for ptrace.
With additional TIF_xx flags defined, it is now called in all the cases
of audit, ftrace and seccomp in addition to ptrace.

Aren't these changes (to ptrace.c) just a giant NOP?

Umm, the purpose of this big "if" is to run the code only if TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE 
is set,
and to make it easy to add additional hooks, audit and ftrace, around 
tracehook_report_*()
later on.

The existing code already checks TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE. I'd rather you added
this new code when it's actually nedded (e.g. when adding audit on top).

* This patch is required only if you really merge my audit and/or ftrace patch.
* Putting these changes in audit patch would impose an extra (unnecessary) 
dependency on ftrace patch.
* Putting them both in audit and ftrace patch would cause a conflict when 
applying both patches.

Even so, since I don't bother you on this minor issue, I will follow your 
comment and make changes on:
* arm64: make a single hook to syscall_trace() for all syscall features
* arm64: Add audit support
* arm64: Add ftrace support
