If a syscall is entered without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on
the fast path.  It's then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in
the middle of the syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag
again.  This causes a ptrace syscall-exit-stop to be missed.

For instance, from a PTRACE_EVENT_FORK reported during do_fork, the
tracer might resume with PTRACE_SYSCALL, setting TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE.
Now the completion of the fork should have a syscall-exit-stop.

Russell King fixed this on arm by re-checking _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK in the
fast exit path.  Do the same on arm64.

v2: Re-enable interrupts before branching to __sys_trace_return.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the patch.

Looks good to me:

  Reviewed-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

I assume this can wait until 4.2?

Ok - do you need me to resend without it?

That's fine with me, thanks.

No need to. I'll edit the line out and queue the patch for 4.2.

Thanks.
