TRACEHOOK_REPORT_CLO(9) Kernel Internals TRACEHOOK_REPORT_CLO(9)
NAME
tracehook_report_clone - in parent, new child is about to start running
SYNOPSIS
void tracehook_report_clone(struct pt_regs * regs, unsigned long clone_flags, pid_t pid, struct task_struct * child);
ARGUMENTS
regs
parent's user register state
clone_flags
flags from parent's system call
pid
new child's PID in the parent's namespace
child
new child task
DESCRIPTION
Called after a child is set up, but before it has been started running. This is not a good place to block, because the child has not
started yet. Suspend the child here if desired, and then block in tracehook_report_clone_complete. This must prevent the child from
self-reaping if tracehook_report_clone_complete uses the child pointer; otherwise it might have died and been released by the time
tracehook_report_clone_complete is called.
Called with no locks held, but the child cannot run until this returns.
