BUG_ON() in audit_syscall_entry() will be hit if user issues syscall(-1) while syscall auditing is enabled (that is, by starting auditd). ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /home/akashi/arm/armv7/linux/kernel/auditsc.c:1534!

When auditing syscall(-1), audit_syscall_entry() is called anyway, but audit_syscall_exit() is not called and then 'in_syscall' flag in thread's audit context is kept on. In this way, audit_syscall_entry() against the succeeding syscall will see BUG_ON(in_syscall). This patch fixes this bug by 1) preventing syscall tracing, ftrace tracepoint and audit, from being executed in case of invalid or pseudo system calls, 2) handling user-issued syscall(-1) with arm_syscall().
