From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 1b97937246d8b97c0760d16d8992c7937bdf5e6a upstream. Josh Stone reports: I've discovered a case where both arm and arm64 will miss a ptrace syscall-exit that they should report. If the syscall is entered without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on the fast path. It's then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in the middle of the syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag again. Fix this by always checking for a syscall trace in the fast exit path.
