Agreed... see the updated patch below. Please tell me if I should another "[PATCH]" email or resend 2-3 as well. Sorry for inconvenience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix syscall_*regfunc() vs copy_process() race syscall_regfunc() and syscall_unregfunc() should set/clear TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT system-wide, but do_each_thread() can race with copy_process() and miss the new child which was not added to the process/thread lists yet. Change copy_process() to update the child's TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT under tasklist.
