4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Russell King <rmk+ker...@arm.linux.org.uk>
commit 1b97937246d8b97c0760d16d8992c7937bdf5e6a upstream.
Josh Stone reports:
I've discovered a case where both arm and arm64 will miss a ptrace
syscall-exit that they should report. If the syscall is entered
without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on the fast path. It's
then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in the middle of the
syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag again.
Fix this by always checking for a syscall trace in the fast exit path.
