While thinking about the information leaks fixed in 77f6ab8b7768 ("don't dump the threads that had been already exiting when zapped.") I realized the problem is much more general than just coredumps and exit_mm. We have io_uring threads, PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC and PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT where ptrace is allowed to access userspace registers, but on some architectures has not saved them.
Wait a sec. To have anything happen on PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC, you need the fucker traced. *IF* you want to go that way, at least make it conditional upon the same thing.
