The syscall is a compat_SyS_execve, which does an do_execve_common, which does a do_open_exec, which ends up opening a tracing file???? How the hell did that happen. Is your tool execing files in the tracing directory? I wonder if that's even possible, and if so, how can we prevent that? The trace_pipe file (which is what uses the tracing_open_pipe) is set to rrr. No exec should be allowed. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
