Good point.

I'd like to help, but I don't have a handy ppc environment for test...
So I made the below patch which has only been build-tested, hope it
could be somewhat helpful.

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Add syscall detection for restartable sequences

Syscalls are not allowed inside restartable sequences, so add a call to
rseq_syscall() at the very beginning of system call exiting path for
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y kernel. This could help us to detect whether there
is a syscall issued inside restartable sequences.
