The ARM Linux kernel handles the EABI syscall numbers as follows: 0 - NR_SYSCALLS-1 : Invoke syscall via syscall table NR_SYSCALLS - 0xeffff : -ENOSYS (to be allocated in future) 0xf0000 - 0xf07ff : Private syscall or -ENOSYS if not allocated > 0xf07ff : SIGILL Our compat code gets this wrong and ends up sending SIGILL in response to all syscalls greater than NR_SYSCALLS which have a value greater than 0x7ff in the bottom 16 bits. Fix this by defining the end of the ARM private syscall region and checking the syscall number against that directly. Update the comment while we're at it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
