Moreover, I tested on x86, and behavior is the same:
if we do restart_syscall userspace sees 0 as scnr.
(for me it sounds strange, because as I understand userspace
should avoid any awareness about possible syscall restart)

x86:

[root@...u-x86 ~]# ./test.x86 &
[1] 285
[root@...u-x86 ~]# cat /proc/285/syscall
168 0x0 0x0 0xffffffff 0x0 0xbf9387ac 0xbf9387b8 0xbf9386f8 0xffffe424
[root@...u-x86 ~]# kill -STOP 285
[root@...u-x86 ~]#

[1]+  Stopped                 ./test.x86
[root@...u-x86 ~]# kill -CONT 285
[root@...u-x86 ~]# cat /proc/285/syscall
0 0x0 0x0 0xffffffff 0x0 0xbf9387ac 0xbf9387b8 0xbf9386f8 0xffffe424

And getting syscall tracing on another run of this test application:

[root@...u-x86 ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | grep test.x86
.....
test.x86-279   [000] ...1   189.926878: sys_enter: NR 168 (0, 0,
ffffffff, 0, bfe6824c, bfe68258)
test.x86-279   [001] ...1   199.931406: sys_exit: NR 168 = -516
test.x86-279   [001] ...1   203.446946: sys_enter: NR 0 (0, 0,
ffffffff, 0, bfe6824c, bfe68258)
test.x86-279   [000] ...1   276.294314: sys_exit: NR 0 = -516
.....


ARM behavior is the same with these two patches:

sh-3.2# /tmp/test &
[1] 178
sh-3.2# cat /proc/178/syscall
168 0x0 0x0 0xffffffff 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xbdcdece4 0x4220a6cc
sh-3.2# kill -STOP 178
sh-3.2#

[1]+  Stopped(SIGSTOP)        /tmp/test
sh-3.2# cat /proc/178/syscall
168 0x0 0x0 0xffffffff 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xbdcdece4 0x4220a6c8
sh-3.2# kill -CONT 178
sh-3.2# cat /proc/178/syscall
0 0x0 0x0 0xffffffff 0x0 0x0 0x0 0xbdcdece4 0x4220a6cc
