Therefore, please don't pull this patch until we reach an > agreement. Following discussion with Neel Natu (Google) and Paul Turner (Google), I plan to modify this patch, and unregister RSEQ on clone CLONE_VM for the following reasons: 1) CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND, which requires CLONE_VM to be set. Therefore, just checking for CLONE_VM covers all CLONE_THREAD uses, 2) There is the possibility of an unlikely scenario where CLONE_SETTLS is used without CLONE_VM. In order to be an issue, it would require that the rseq TLS is in a shared memory area. I do not plan on adding CLONE_SETTLS to the set of clone flags which unregister RSEQ, because it would require that we also unregister RSEQ on set_thread_area(2) and arch_prctl(2) ARCH_SET_FS for completeness. So rather than doing a partial solution, it appears better to let user-space explicitly perform rseq unregistration across clone if needed in scenarios where CLONE_VM is not set. Thoughts ?
