Subject: [PATCH 4/6] ARM: entry: don't bother with syscall tracing on ret_from_fork path
Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 18:42:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336066980-24000-5-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1336066980-24000-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>
ret_from_fork is setup for a freshly spawned child task via copy_thread,
called from copy_process. The latter function clears TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE
and also resets the child task's audit_context to NULL, meaning that
there is little point invoking the system call tracing routines.
Furthermore, getting hold of the syscall number is a complete pain and
it looks like the current code doesn't even bother.
This patch removes the syscall tracing checks from ret_from_fork.
