Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/1] arm64: Forget syscall if different from execve*()
Date: Mon,  9 May 2022 16:19:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220509151958.441240-2-flaniel@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220509151958.441240-1-flaniel@linux.microsoft.com>

This patch enables exeve*() to be traced by syscalls:sys_exit_execve
tracepoint.
Previously, calling forget_syscall() would set syscall to -1, which impedes
this tracepoint to prints its information.
So, this patch makes call to forget_syscall() conditional by only calling
it when syscall number is not execve() or execveat().
