Not really; what is the condition you are checking? The interesting trace is not that with get_reg() - it's that of the process being traced. You are not accessing the stack of caller of ptrace(2) here, so you want to know that SAVE_SWITCH_STACK had been done by the tracee, not tracer. And if that had been strace ls, you have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set for ls, so * ls hits system_call * notices TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE and goes to do_trace_entry * does SAVE_SWITCH_STACK there * calls syscall_trace(), which calls ptrace_notify() * ptrace_notify() calls ptrace_do_notify(), which calls ptrace_stop() * ptrace_stop() arranges for tracer to be woken up and gives CPU up, with TASK_TRACED as process state. That's the callchain in ls, and switch_stack accessed by get_reg() from strace is the one on ls(1) stack created by SAVE_SWITCH_STACK.
