Accessing the bit field without a check might result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest). Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL. There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1: 1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus, tracing code resets it. (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c) 2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads which include kernel threads. However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing syscall trace points: - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()), - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE, - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number. To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr. For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.
