linux$ git grep UDBG_SYSCALL -- arch/arm/
include/asm/system.h:#define UDBG_SYSCALL (1 << 1)
kernel/traps.c: if (user_debug & UDBG_SYSCALL) {
kernel/traps.c: if (user_debug & UDBG_SYSCALL) {

Looking at kernel/traps.c, it looks like only undefined or obsolete
syscalls are logged. It could be worth clarifying this in the wording,
both here and in arch/arm/Kconfig.debug.
