[PATCH RFC POC 09/50] m68k: commit fds on syscall exit

Christian Brauner brauner at kernel.org
Tue Sep 15 04:30:55 PDT 2026


Add TIF_FD_SLOTS and test it on the untraced return from a system
call in all three entry paths. A task that reserved descriptors calls
syscall_trace_leave(), which commits them before the ptrace exit stop.
The traced paths already end up there.
