[PATCH RFC POC 05/50] ARM: commit fds on syscall exit
From: Christian Brauner
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 07:47:46 EST
Add TIF_FD_SLOTS and test it where the syscall return path decides
between the syscall work and the plain work pending slow path. A task
that reserved descriptors goes through __sys_trace_return_nosave
where syscall_trace_exit() commits them before audit and the ptrace
exit stop. The traced path already ends up there.
