This patch conflicts with utrace-core.patch a bit:

***************
*** 134,139 ****
*/
static inline void tracehook_report_syscall_exit(struct pt_regs *regs, int step)
{
ptrace_report_syscall(regs);
}

--- 140,147 ----
*/
static inline void tracehook_report_syscall_exit(struct pt_regs *regs, int step)
{
+ if (task_utrace_flags(current) & UTRACE_EVENT(SYSCALL_EXIT))
+ utrace_report_syscall_exit(regs);
ptrace_report_syscall(regs);
}

I did this:

static inline void tracehook_report_syscall_exit(struct pt_regs *regs, int step)
{
if (step) {
siginfo_t info;
user_single_step_siginfo(current, regs, &info);
force_sig_info(SIGTRAP, &info, current);
return;
}

+ if (task_utrace_flags(current) & UTRACE_EVENT(SYSCALL_EXIT))
+ utrace_report_syscall_exit(regs);
ptrace_report_syscall(regs);
}


utrace-core.patch is getting rather old. What is its status?
