Revision 15cab952139404d0e593cb1aaab0a3547ac0f95b authored by Oleg Nesterov on 23 March 2012, 22:02:39 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 23 March 2012, 23:58:40 UTC
Another old/known problem.  If the tracee is killed after it reports
syscall_entry, it starts the syscall and debugger can't control this.
This confuses the users and this creates the security problems for
ptrace jailers.

Change tracehook_report_syscall_entry() to return non-zero if killed,
this instructs syscall_trace_enter() to abort the syscall.
