The result of in_compat_syscall() can be pictured as:
x86 platform:
---------------------------------------------------
| Arch\syscall | 64-bit | ia32 | x32 |
|-------------------------------------------------|
| x86_64 | false | true | true |
|-------------------------------------------------|
| i686 | | <true> | |
---------------------------------------------------
Other platforms:
-------------------------------------------
| Arch\syscall | 64-bit | compat |
|-----------------------------------------|
| 64-bit | false | true |
|-----------------------------------------|
| 32-bit(?) | | <false> |
-------------------------------------------
As seen, the result of in_compat_syscall() on generic 32-bit platform
differs from i686.
There is no reason for in_compat_syscall() == true on native i686. It also
easy to misread code if the result on native 32-bit platform differs
between arches.
Because of that non arch-specific code has many places with:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) && in_compat_syscall())
in different variations.
It looks-like the only non-x86 code which uses in_compat_syscall() not
under CONFIG_COMPAT guard is in amd/amdkfd. But according to the commit

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.
