Hi Mingyi, 

Please let me add the other rseq maintainers and LKML in CC. I'm a bit stretched on time 
here, so maybe they will have time to answer before I do. 

Meanwhile, if you could provide details about your architecture, kernel .config, and a 
small reproducer program, it would help bootstrapping the discussion. 

Thanks, 

Mathieu
