Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] arm64: Do not forget syscall when starting a new thread.
Date: Wed,  8 Jun 2022 17:24:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220608162447.666494-2-flaniel@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220608162447.666494-1-flaniel@linux.microsoft.com>

This patch enables exeve*() to be traced with syscalls:sys_exit_execve
tracepoint.
Previous to it, by calling forget_syscall(), this tracepoint would not
print its information as syscall is -1.
So, this patch removes call to forget_syscall() and set regs->syscallno
to its previous value.
