commit ec6d0dde71d760aa60316f8d1c9a1b0d99213529 upstream. On execve[at], we are zero'ing out most of the thread register state including gpr[0], which contains the syscall number. Due to this, we fail to trigger the syscall exit tracepoint properly. Fix this by retaining gpr[0] in the thread register state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
