Hi,

   This ptrace request sigtraps at the entry and at
the exit of a system call. It is not clear to me how
to tell whether it's at the entry or at the exit. Does
anyone have an idea? Thanks.

There is no way to tell.

If you use the TRACESYSGOOD option, you can at least distinguish it
from normal breakpoints.  Then you count how many you've had.  I have
some additional kernel patches to make TRACESYSGOOD work on all
architectures, but it should already work on Intel.
