NAME
       tracehook_report_syscall_exit - task has just finished a system call

SYNOPSIS
       void tracehook_report_syscall_exit(struct pt_regs * regs, int step);

ARGUMENTS
       regs
	   user register state of current task

       step
	   nonzero if simulating single-step or block-step

DESCRIPTION
       This will be called if TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE has been set, when the current task has just finished an attempted system call. Full user register
       state is available here. It is safe to block here, preventing signals from being processed.

       If step is nonzero, this report is also in lieu of the normal trap that would follow the system call instruction because
       user_enable_block_step or user_enable_single_step was used. In this case, TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE might not be set.

       Called without locks, just before checking for pending signals.
