Can you provide details on how this works ?

For instance, do_syscall_trace_enter() was calling do_seccomp().
do_seccomp() sets regs->r3 to -ENOSYS then calls __secure_computing().

Now you call syscall_enter_from_user_mode() instead which calls 
syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work() which calls syscall_trace_enter() 
which calls  __secure_computing() but without seting regs->r3 to -ENOSYS.

So what will be returned by the below return when 
syscall_enter_from_user_mode returns -1 ?
