[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 02/29] arm64: Do not forget syscall when starting a new thread.

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2022-08-08 01:53:02
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

From: Francis Laniel <redacted>

[ Upstream commit de6921856f99c11d3986c6702d851e1328d4f7f6 ]

Enable tracing of the execve*() system calls with the
syscalls:sys_exit_execve tracepoint by removing the call to
forget_syscall() when starting a new thread and preserving the value of
regs->syscallno across exec.
