[for-next][PATCH v2 1/3] tracing: Fix syscall_*regfunc() vs copy_process() race

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-tracing-Fix-syscall_-regfunc-vs-copy_process-race.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2066 bytes --]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

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.
