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.
