Subject[PATCH 3.12 057/170] tracing: Fix syscall_*regfunc() vs copy_process() race
Date
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 4af4206be2bd1933cae20c2b6fb2058dbc887f7c upstream.

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.
